Jawaban
Pendahuluan
A gerund is the -ing form of a verb. Gerund modifies a verb as a noun. For example:
- Swim (verb) -> swimming (noun) -> I like swimming.
- Read (verb) -> reading (noun) -> Reading is my favorite activity in my free time.
- Work out (verb) -> working out (noun) -> Working out has improved my health significantly.
Gerund can also modify a noun if we put it before a noun. For example:
- Wait (verb) -> waiting + room = waiting room. Waiting room is a place we use for waiting.
- Run (verb) -> running + shoes = running shoes. Running shoes are shoes we use for running.
