XPrior to Dee leaving home, the everyday objects in her household were just that- everyday objects. She took no special notice of any of them. However, once she returns home, all of these objects represent great culture significance to her. She is incredibly enthused about how great the wooden benches and old quilts are because she thinks it is in-style to be in touch with her own culture.
Answer:
<u>A gerund</u>
Explanation:
A gerund is a word that looks like a verb but that does not act as one, and that, instead, acts as a noun in a sentence. It is formed with a verb root plus the ending “ing,” like “winning” and “thinking.” The sentence provided contains a gerund, namely, “acting” which in this case functions as a predicate noun, completing the linking verb “be” and renaming the noun “his major.”
A gerund looks like a verb but functions the same way as a noun. But, why does it look like verbs? What does it have in a sentence that a verb does? OBJECT is your answer. They both have objects. For instance, in the sentence, "I dropped my coffee mug" The gerund is "dropped" and it dropped an object (mug). Therefore, your answer is Object.
