WHAT ARE IMPOSTERS? Imposters like to play tricks on you. They are words that look like one part of speech but behave like another. Imposters are PIGs: Prepositions Infinitives Gerunds

NOW LETS LOOK AT GERUNDS: Gerunds aren’t as creepy and spooky as you think. To turn a verb into a gerund just add “ing”. When verbs become gerunds they pretend to be nouns.

NOW LETS LOOK AT GERUNDS: When gerunds pretend to be nouns they can do anything a noun can do. That means they can be: subjects subject complements direct objects indirect objects, and objects of prepositions.

DOH! THAT SOUNDS CONFUSING Don’t worry Homer. We are going to practice with all the things a gerund can pretend to be. Let’s start with the verb swim. To turn it into a gerund add “ing”. Now we have the gerund swimming.

A gerund can be the subject of a sentence. Swimming Swimming is one of the Simpson family’s favorite activities. Swimming is a gerund because it is a verb with “ing” pretending to be a noun. It replaces a noun as the subject of the verb is.

A gerund can be the subject complement of a sentence. One of baby Maggie’s first sports is swimming. Swimming replaces a noun as the subject complement of the subject sports. swimming.

A gerund can be the direct object of a sentence. swimming Bart enjoys swimming as much as skateboarding. Swimming replaces a noun as the direct object of the verb “enjoys”.

A gerund can be the indirect object of a sentence. Lisa gives swimming a lot of time and energy. Swimming is the indirect object of the verb gives. swimming

A gerund can be the object of a preposition. Homer uses an inner tube for swimming. Swimming is the object of the preposition “for”. swimming.

D’OH! This is confusing! Don’t worry Homer. Just remember the two rules for a gerund: A gerund ALWAYS ends in “ing” A gerund is ALWAYS a verb that is pretending to be a noun. Lets practice:

Find the gerund in each sentence and mark it with G. V G-DO Lisa likes playing the saxaphone. “playing” is the direct object of the verb “likes” She is skilled at reading music. “reading” is the object of the preposition “at” S V SC Pr G-PrO

Find the gerund in each sentence and mark it with G. V G-SC Inf ----S----- Bart and Lisa are pretending to be dogs. “pretending” is the subject complement of the verb “are”. Their barking sounds silly. “barking” is the subject of the sentence V SC G-S
