 Gerunds
Gerunds adalah bentuk kerja yang berfungsi
sebagai kata benda dan diakhiri dengan –ing.

Penggunaan Gerunds
1. Pada permulaan/awal kalimat (as a subject)
e.g. : Smoking is a bad habit.
Swimming is a good sport.

2. Ada beberapa kata kerja yang hanya dapat
diikut gerunds yaitu :
e.g. : enjoy stop finish
help keep dislike
e.g. : We enjoy studying English.
I have stopped driving fast.
He finished reading the newspaper.

3. Gerunds digunakan sesudah semua kata
depan (prepositions) dalam bahasa Inggris
kecuali “to” (kalau “to” itu merupakan
bagian dari infinitive, misalnya: to go).
e.g. : I look forward to receiving your letter.
John is fond of fishing.

4. Kita menggunakan gerunds sesudah
ungkapan: to be worth and no use.
e.g. : That movie is worth seeing.
It’s no use crying for the spilt milk.

dapat diikuti oleh gerunds atau infinitives.

like love continue
e.g. : He has begun to take English lessons.
He has begun taking English lessons.
We will continue to study English GE Course.

Tambahan :
I. Kata-kata kerja berikut ini dapat diikuti dengan
gerund sebagai objek langsung.
e.g. : enjoy stop
finish admit
e.g. : She enjoyed meeting them.

II. Verb phrases (Verb + Prepositions) berikut ini
harus diikuti dengan gerund. Ingatlah bahwa
prepositions pada umumnya diikuti dengan
gerunds, bukan oleh infinitives.
e.g. : be accustomed to
kept on
look forward to
e.g. : She was not used to living in a
dormitory.
He kept on driving even though he was
tired.

Go is followed by gerund in certain idiomatic
expressions to express, for the most part,
recreational activities.
