GRAMMAR
Gerund Verb+- ing, gerund with or without change of meaning
A Gerund is a verb when it acts as a noun; gerunds can act as the subject or object of a main verb.
EG: Studying is good for you.
Examples: Walking is great exercise. Hiking up that steep mountain seems impossible. Talking more about this will not change my mind.
Note that in each of the examples above, the -ing word—the gerund—acted as the subject of the sentence.
Gerunds, like other nouns, may also act as direct objects, indirect objects, and objects of the preposition.
Examples: We like talking on the phone every night. (direct object) I give him credit for talking. (object of the preposition for)
It is helpful to recognize gerunds because if a noun or pronoun precedes a gerund, it is usually best to use the possessive form of that noun or pronoun.
Correct: My running ahead bothered him. Incorrect: Me running ahead bothered him.
Correct: Their separating does not mean they won’t continue to be good parents to their three children. Incorrect: Them separating does not mean they won’t continue to be good parents to their three children.
Examples: Alex’s skating was a joy to behold. Ben’s walking improved once his ankle healed. The girl’s dancing won her a trip to Hawaii.
Pop Quiz Identify the gerund in each sentence. If there is a noun or pronoun preceding it, make the noun or pronoun possessive.
1. Working efficiently is required in the restaurant business. 2. She won three gold medals for swimming. 3. The devaluing of the dollar continued throughout the summer. 4. Don’t criticize me trying to get his attention. 5. I’d like to know Alicia thinking about the issue.
