Answer:

Cutting our own tree at Christmas time is a special celebration in our home.

Losing my wallet caused me great inconvenience.

I save money by watching for the sales.

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>).

Write two to three sentences explaining the similarities and differences between the haiku by Bashō and the first stanza of Word
sergij07 [2.7K]

Both poems are similar because they are both about nature and are also presented in a sad tone at first. 

“I wandered lonely as a cloud” is a lyrical poem and it depicts Wordsworth’s response to nature’s beauty while the haiku by Basho represents the imagery of spring day.

Their structural difference is that the haiku only has three lines with 5, 7, 5 syllables each line while “I wander lonely as a cloud” has a stanza with six lines in iambic tetrameter.
