B. Presenting our lesson for today is about verbs in –ing form that acts as noun in
examples/Instances sentence, it is what we call “GERUND”
of the new lesson
gerund is an –ing form of a verb that functions as a noun.
how to find gerunds in sentences?
just look for a verb + ing that is used as a noun.
Example:
1. Reading gives us knowledge
2. Let’s go dancing to the party tonight.

gerund phrase is created when a gerund has a modifier, object or both.

How do you recognize a gerund phrase when you see one?
A gerund phrase will follow these rules, which can help you identify a
gerund phrase in a sentence:

 The phrase will always start with a gerund.

 The gerund phrase will either have a modifier, an object or both.
 The entire phrase will function as a noun.
 The phrase will have singular agreement with a verb. Thus, if a
subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural,
its verb must also be plural.
Look at these examples with the gerund phrases used in different ways:

 Reading books quietly is my favorite pastime.

 My favorite pastime is reading books quietly.
 I recommend reading books quietly to pass the time

C. Discussing new While the rules of gerund/gerund phrases set out earlier to help us
concepts and recognize them in a sentence, gerund/gerund phrases have various uses
practicing new skills in a sentence. They have a variety of roles in a sentence and can be
acted upon in varying ways

1. Subject
Gerunds are often used as a subject of a sentence to talk about activities,
behaviors, or opinions. It is the one that carries out the action of the verb.
Gerund as a subject:
 Reading is relaxing.
 Writing is an exchange of ideas.

Gerund phrase as a subject:

 Sleeping through the night is difficult for me.

 Making noise is what happy children and almost all teenagers do
best.

2. Direct Object
In the following examples, the gerund/gerund phrase is acting as the
direct object in the sentence. The direct object is the noun or pronoun
that receives the action of the main verb.
Gerund as a Direct Object:
 Gio enjoys running daily.
Gerund phrase as a Direct Object:

 I love sleeping through the night.

 My parents prefer eating dinner together.

3. Subject complement/Predicate Nominative

 In the following examples, the gerund/gerund phrase is acting as a
predicate nominative. A predicate nominative completes the linking verb
and renames the subject. For example, in the examples below the gerund
phrases answer or define the first part of the sentence.
Gerund as a Predicate nominative:
 Micah’s favorite sport is running.

Gerund phrase as a Predicate nominative:

 My biggest difficulty is sleeping through the night. (What is my

biggest difficulty? It is sleeping through the night.)
 Our top priority was getting everyone on the plane.

The most common linking verbs are forms of the verb to be: am, is, are,
was, were, being, been.

4. Object of a Preposition
In the following examples, the gerund/gerund phrase is acting as the
object of the preposition in the sentence. The object of a preposition is
simply a word or phrase that is preceded by a preposition and completes
its meaning.
Gerund as an object of prepostion:
 Her interest in gardening developed over time.

Gerund phrase as an object of prepostion:

 The doctor suggested drinking warm milk for sleeping through the
night. (For what? For sleeping through the night.)
 By crying like a baby, you won’t get anywhere in life

D. Developing mastery Direction: (Identifying Gerunds) Underline the gerund or gerund phrase.
Write whether it is used as a subject, direct object, predicate nominative,
or object of preposition

1. Cristine’s secret hobby is dancing.

2. Running with scissors on a slippery floor was a terrible idea.
3. Exercise is futile without eating healthily.
4. Don likes swimming with dolphins.
5. I’m tired of pretending.”
6. Making noise is what happy children and almost all
teenagers do best.
7. Shopping makes me tired.
8. His daughter enjoys fixing broken bicycles
9. Travelling across France should be a rite of passage for all
writers.
10. Detectives were relieved after finding the evidence.

E. Application of Directions: Locate the gerund (gerund phrase) in each sentence. Then
concepts and skills identify the gerund's function in the sentence as subject, direct object,
subjective complement, object of preposition, or appositive.
Note: If the gerund is part of a gerund phrase, include the whole phrase in
your answer.
