This term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other
two kinds of verbal, is based on a verb and therefore
expresses action or a state of being. However, since a
gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions
in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would. For
example: subject, direct object, subjective complement,
appositive and object of the preposition.
