  3. Review Gerunds 1.) A gerund functions nominally as the subject of the sentence. Examples: -Giggling over gerunds makes grammar fun! -Drinking hot cocoa on a cold day is delightful. -Since Joe was five years old, swimming has been his passion. Quick Test: Replace the gerund phrase with “it.” -It makes grammar fun! -It is delightful. -It has been his passion.

  4. 2.) A gerund can also function nominally in the sentence as the direct object. Examples: -I love drinking hot cocoa on a cold day. -Joe hates swimming at five in the morning. Test: Locate the verb in the sentence and ask what? -love what? -hates what?

  5. 3.) A gerund can also function as the object of preposition. Examples: -I cheer myself up on a cold day by drinking hot cocoa. -Joe reconciles his hatred by missing most five am practices. Tip: find the prepositions, then find the gerund phrase

  6. 4.) A gerund can function nominally in the sentence as an appositive. Examples: -My favorite winter activity, drinking hot cocoa, warms my soul. -Joe’s passion, swimming at five pm, will never die.
