3. Abstraction

Gerund - A gerund is a verb form that functions as a noun. It is created by

adding -ing to the end of a verb, such as "running" or "swimming."

TYPES OF GERUNDS

 Gerund as a SUBJECT

A gerund can be the subject of the sentence. Subject can be person,

place, or thing that is performing the action of the sentence. The subject
represents what or whom the sentence is about.

Example: Gardening is my favorite hobby.

(Gardening is normally a verb, but here it is the name of an activity.)

 Gerund as DIRECT OBJECT

A gerund can be used as a direct object when it functions as the recipient

of the action in a sentence.

Example: My neighbors admire my gardening.

(The admiration is not for the action of gardening, but for the results of
the action.)

 Gerund as OBJECT PREPOSITION

The object of a preposition is a noun that works with a preposition to form
a prepositional phrase. And when a gerund follows a preposition, it's an
object of the preposition.

Example: I am interested in improving myself

(In this case, the preposition "in" is indicating that the action of improving
is something that the subject is interested in engaging in.)

 Gerund as SUBJECT COMPLEMENT

Subject complements are words or phrases that rename the subject of
the sentence or describe it with more details.

Example : My favorite hobby is gardening.

(Again, gardening is described as something done, not the act of doing it.
The statement is the inverse of the first sentence in this group; here “My
favorite hobby” is the subject, and gardening is its complement.)

4. Application
To measure students understanding of the topic, the teachers will be showing
some sentences which have gerunds and will allow the students to identify
what type of gerunds are used in the sentence.

1. Singing is her favourite pastime.

2. He was prevented from meeting his friend.
3. I like playing cricket.
4. My cat's favorite activity is sleeping.
5. I surprised them by visiting Manila.
