What to notice in the examples

Accurate gerund use depends on identifying its grammatical job rather than its spelling alone, because the same -ing form can function as part of a verb phrase, a participle, or a gerund.

  • Find the -ing form.
  • Ask whether the form names an activity or functions in a noun position.
  • Distinguish it from progressive verb forms and participial modifiers.
  • Check the verb or preposition governing the gerund when usage is fixed.
