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>).
