VERBALS a form of a verb ending in "-ing" used as a noun, e.g. "dancing" in “He teaches dancing.“
The term verbalindicates that a gerund, like the other two kinds of verbals, is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being.
However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occu-pies some posi-tionsin a sentence that a noun ordinarily would,
for example: subject, D.O., I.O., subject complement, and object of preposition.

If there is more than one vowel, just add -ING: • beat + ing = beating
If there is one voweland one consonant,and the syllable is stressed, double the consonant and add -ING: • hit + t + ing = hitting
If there are one or more consonantsand E, remove the E and add -ING: • take + ing = taking
In most other cases, just add -ING: • study + ing = studying • see + ing = seeing
