Definition. A gerund is a verbal that ends in-ing and functions as a noun. Adjective: gerundial or gerundival. The term gerund is used in traditional grammar. Many contemporary linguists prefer instead to use the term-ing form.
Just like a normal noun, a gerund or gerund phrase can be the subject of a sentence. For example: â 1 Swimming is an excellent form of exercise!â (gerund only) â 2 Eating vegetables gives you a lot of extra energy.â (gerund + object) â Studying too hastily will result in a poor grade.â (gerund + adverb(s))
