Wht is gerund with example !

Answer 1

$\large{\underline{\underline{\bold{Gerund :-}}}}$

Gerund is a word that ends in -ing and functions as a noun.

• It expresses an action or a state of being.

• Since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies the same position in the sentence that a noun does - subject, object or after a preposition.

The batting let down the side. (the subject of a sentence)

This side is known for its fantastic bowling. (The object of a sentence)

The captain was upset with his team for the bad fielding. (the object of the preposition. )

Answer 2

Answer:

A gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun. For example, “Running is fun.” In this sentence, “running” is the gerund. It acts just like a noun. ... You can only use a gerund after the verb “suggest.”
