Hi Fbers, we have been asked to talk about gerunds.
(Sometimes called ‘–ing verbs’ or ‘verbal nouns’).
Not all verbs ending in ‘-ing’ are gerunds. It may be a gerund or a present participle.
You need to understand that they are not the same.
It is usually a gerund when we use a verb in ‘-ing’ form like a noun.
For example: Shopping is great fun.
It is usually a present participle when we use a verb in ‘-ing’ form like a verb or an adjective.
For example when used like a verb: Wayan is reading.
For example when used like an adjective: Ketut is a boring tour guide.
More on the gerund later.
