GERUND
LESSON’S
OBJECTIVES
At the end of the 50-minute lesson,
01 the students should be able to:
Define gerund and its

function
02
Use verbs as gerunds in
sentences and phrases,
03
Value the importance of
knowing the functions
of gerunds.
What is Gerund?
A Gerund is usually defined as a
word ending in -ing that is
formed from a verb and that
functions as a noun specifically
used as a subject, a subject
complement, an object of the
preposition, a direct object, and
an appositive.
SWIMMING
RUNNING
DRINKING
Gerunds also appear in gerund phrases, which combine
the gerund with other words that add additional
information. For example, the phrase “sprinting across
the field” is a gerund phrase. Both gerunds and gerund
phrases work the same way and have four variations in
regard to how they function within a sentence: subject of
the sentence, direct object of the sentence, subject
complement, object of a preposition, and appositive.
DIFFERENT
USES OF
GERUND
01
GERUND AS A SUBJECT
-The topic of a sentence.
Example:
Acting is fun.
Hunting tigers is dangerous.
Smoking causes lung cancer.
02 GERUND AS A SUBJECTIVE
COMPLEMENT
- A subject complement is a word or

phrase that follows a linking verb and
describes or identifies the subject.
Linking verbs- are, is,

was, were
Example:
1. Generosity is giving more
than you can
2. What I like is traveling to
other countries.
3. Seeing is believing.
03 GERUND AS OBJECT OF A
PREPOSITION
- An object of a preposition follows the
preposition itself (about, at, by, for, in, of…)
Example: You can achieve your goals by

working hard.
You can achieve your goals by work hard.
04 GERUND AS DIRECT OBJECT
- Receives the action of the verb.
Example: I love pretending that I’m okay.

*In the first sentence, the gerund “pretending”
tells us what I love. “Pretending” receives the
action of “love”. What do I love?
Example: I enjoy cooking with my mom.
My dog likes napping.

In the third sentence, the gerund
“napping” tells us what the dog likes.
“Napping” receives the
action of “likes.” What does the dog like?
05 GERUND AS APPOSITIVE
- Is a noun or noun phrase that renames
another noun.
Example:
1. Low-impact sports, like riding a bike,
cause less stress on your knees.
2. Stress relievers, such as singing, is
good for the heart.
An appositive is a noun phrase
that comes after another noun
phrase (its antecedent) to provide
extra information about it.
Any Question?
What is a Gerund?
Give me an example of a
gerund and use it in a
sentence.
In general class, A gerund is a type of verb
form that functions as a noun in a sentence. It
is created by adding the suffix "-ing" to a verb
base. Gerunds can serve various grammatical
roles, such as subjects, objects, and
complements. They are used to express
actions, activities, or states as nouns.
ACTIVITY:
Underline the gerund in each sentence and label as a:
Subject
Subject Complement
Object of a Preposition
Direct Object
Appositive
1. Dancing makes a person lose weight.

2. Her number one priority is working.
3. I have a new hobby, cooking
4. The movie was frustrating
5. I have to go home after exercising.
6. My father likes hiking.
