30 Examples of Gerund Sentences and Phrases
The gerund is a verb that acts like a noun in a sentence. The subject in which the names are used in the sentence is used in the case of the object.
The gerund is obtained by adding the -ing tag to a verb root.
Examples;
- Swimming is my favourite sport.
- Having to get up early won’t bother me at all.
