Explanation:
A gerund is a part of speech which looks like a verb, but is actually a noun. It can be the subject of a sentence, an object of the verb, an object of a preposition or a subject complement. This is formed by adding "ing" to a verb.
- dance + ing = dancing
- swim + ing = swimming
- cook + ing = cooking
In the sentence above, "<u>Finding</u> the lost bracelet proved to be a difficult task." The gerund is "Finding" and it is acting as a subject of the sentence.
Remember that <em>gerunds act singular</em>, thus the verb that is being used to accompany them is also singular.
- <u>Swimming</u> is my favorite sport. (the gerund is acting as a subject)
- I like<u> singing</u> in Japanese. (the gerund is acting as an object of a sentence)
- My boyfriend's favorite hobby is<u> jogging.</u> (the gerund is acting as a subject complement)
The Canterbury Tales written in Middle English is a collection of 24 stories that runs to over 17,000 lines by Geoffrey Chaucer between 1387 and 1400.
Chaucer’s humor is not stained with bitter satire. Chaucer looked on and smiled on the foolishness of the people. He was a master of irony and sympathetic humor. Chaucer's humor is almost innocent fun.
Satire is found in the world of Chaucer, but it is rarely coarse, seldom severe, and never savage. His humor is not tinged with fierce and biting satire. He did not hit the strongholds of corruption mercilessly; he simply laughed at them and made us laugh. Bitter satire, in fact, did not penetrate the sympathetic and genial outlook of Chaucer. His interest lay in the depiction rather than in an exposure. His object was to paint life as he saw it, to hold up mirror to nature as he sensed it, with a humorous touch.
The character who exhibits irony in the canterbury tales is:
the Plowman, who works hard in the fields
A. Wei-Chen punches Jin Wang for kissing Suzy Nakamura.
