Explanation:
A gerund is a word formed from a verb by adding<em> -ing</em> that acts as a noun. It has some properties of a verb, though, as it can be modified by an adverb and take a direct object.
An example of a gerund used in a sentence:
- <em>Reading </em><em>is good for you. </em>(<em>Reading - read + ing</em>. It acts as a noun and it's the subject of the sentence).
A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a gerund and other modifiers or objects associated with it (<em>Cutting our own tree at Christmas time, Losing my wallet</em>).
