Gerund Phrases

Definition A GERUND is a verb form that ends in ING and acts as a NOUN (gee, that sounds simple… ) These may look like participial phrases, but they act differently in the sentence. Gerund phrases take on all of the functions that a noun would normally take in a sentence: Subject, DO, PN, OP and even IO

Examples As a subject: Swimming in spaghetti feels great. Object of a Prep: I get my daily exercise by swimming in spaghetti. (by = prep) Dir. Object: Fortunately, my cat also loves swimming in spaghetti. (my cat loves what??)

Examples Pred. Nom: In fact, her favorite activity is swimming in spaghetti. (her activity is what??) Indirect Obj. : I recommend that you all give swimming in spaghetti a chance. (give a chance to whom/what?)

Identify the gerund and its function in the sentence My daughter loves running around in circles. Bob’s pet monkey jumped over the huge fence without falling on its head. Kayaking down a river is an exhilarating experience. Her wildest dream is going to a Hanna Montana concert. If you give cooking a try, I bet you’d like it!
