    Gerunds can function like nouns and are often used after verbs. A gerund is a verb form that ends in "-ing" and can be used as the subject or object of a sentence. Examples of gerund usage include "Harry loves eating ice cream", where "eating" is the gerund object of the verb "loves", and "Smoking is very bad for you", where "Smoking" is the gerund subject. Gerunds are commonly used as the object of transitive verbs instead of a noun or pronoun object.
