- •Index of Phrasal Verbs by Section
40. Focus on: gerund phrasal verbs vs. Phrasal verbs followed by the -ing form
We have seen in previous sections that phrasal verbs are sometimes followed by the -ing form. We have also seen that transitive phrasal verbs sometimes take gerund objects. At a glance, there seems to be no difference between these two constructions:
Jim went away singing.
-ing form
Jim stuck with singing.
gerund
But because a gerund is a verb functioning as a noun, it can be replaced with an ordinary nongerund noun. However, this is not true of the -ing form:
Jim
went away it.
Jim
stuck with
it.
