    GERUND

    A gerund is a verb that functions as a noun by adding “-ing” to the base form of
    the verb. It is one of the non-countable forms of the verb, meaning it doesn’t
    show tense but represents an action or state in a more general, abstract way.

    Examples:
    • Walking is good exercise. (Here, “walking” is a gerund, acting as the subject
    of the sentence.)
    • Swimming is my favorite hobby.
    • I enjoy reading books.
