Gerunds and Gerund Phrases 8th Grade English Clauses and Verbals Unit

Today’s Notes: April 8, 2011 VII. Gerunds A. A participial form of the verb used as a noun. B. A gerund phrase includes the gerund and other words that complete its meaning.

Yesterday… We learned about participles and participial phrases. What can a participle be used as? How can you identify a: Present Participle? Past Participle?

Good… Today we are going to learn about the next verbal…a verb with an identity crisis… We are going to learn about Gerunds!

Who has my subject? What is the subject of these sentences? Dancing is the love of Tiffany’s life? Playing chess is Steve’s secret passion!

Gerunds In the previous lesson, you learned that a present or past participle may be used as an adjective. Well, a present participle is really, really confused…it can also be used as a noun! In this case, it is called a gerund!

Gerunds A gerund is a verb form that ends in –ing and is used as a noun. The playing field is one hundred yards long. (participle/adjective) Playing is our favorite activity (gerund)

Gerunds A gerund is a verb form that ends in –ing and is used as a noun. Like other nouns, a gerund can serve as the simple subject of a sentence. It can also be a direct object or the object of a preposition. It can be used, albeit infrequently, as a predicate noun.

Examples: Blocking requires strength. (Subject) The athletes enjoy exercising (Direct Object) They maintain endurance by running (Object of a Preposition)

Gerund Phrases A gerund phrase is a group of words that includes a gerund and other words that complete its meaning. Ex. Kicking the ball takes skill. Ex. A team tries scoring a touchdown. A touchdown results from moving the ball across the goal.

HINT: Gerunds and It Gerunds, like noun clauses, can always be replaced by the word it. Participles and Participial phrases NEVER can. Gerunds are ALWAYS singular so IT will always work! Ex. Rob enjoys swimming. Rob enjoys it. Ex. Rob is swimming in a meet today (doesn’t work)

Functions of Gerunds Gerunds are always, always nouns. That means they can be: The subject The direct object An object of a preposition Predicate noun (a.k.a. predicate nominative)

Identify the gerund or gerund phrase…

Exercise A. A win requires earning more points than the opponent. Kicking earns points in two different ways in this sport. A team earns three points by kicking a field goal. Teams also try converting for one point after a touchdown. Defending the team’s own goal is crucial.

Exercise B. A win requires earning more points than the opponent. Kicking earns points in two different ways in this sport. A team earns three points by kicking a field goal. Teams also try converting for one point after a touchdown. Defending the team’s own goal is crucial.

Remember… A gerund is a verb form that ends in –ing and is used as a noun. A gerund phrase is a group of words that includes a gerund and other words that complete its meaning. You can replace a gerund with the word it and the sentence would still make sense.
