English

Answer:

<em>Gerund or gerund phrase:  </em><em>thinking</em>

<em>Noun function: </em><em>subject</em>

Explanation:

Gerund is a type of verbal which means it is a verb with a different function. In case of a gerund, it functions as a noun.

Basically recognizing gerund in a sentence is easy, it always ends in -ing.

Though it should not be confused with present participle which also ends in  -ing. Present participle acts as an adjective and it is a part of verb forms (e.g. present simple continuous).

In this sentence <em>thinking</em> answers to the question<em> what</em> (what is hard work), so that`s why it is a subject.

Difference between restrictive phrase and restrictive clause
lora16 [44]
The difference between a restrictive phrase and a restrictive clause can be determined if you break down the parts of speech. It is a clause if there is a subject and verb with a predicate. It is a phrase if there is a noun but no verb or a verb but no noun, and it does not have a predicate.
