In which sentence is the underlined word a gerund?

English
1 answer:
Alina [70]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The answer is letter C, Finding the lost bracelet proved to be a difficult task.

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)

Write a paragraph giving your opninion about life in the country side
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

Explanation:

I think life in the countryside has many good points. Firstly, people are friendly to each other. They are willing to help whenever someone gets into trouble. They are so outgoing that we can make friends with them easily. Secondly, life in the countryside is peaceful and simple. There aren’t many vehicles moving on the road as in the city. Thirdly, food is obviously fresher and cheaper. We can eat without worrying too much about food’s safety because vegetables are grown naturally. Finally, traditional activities are very interesting to take part in. In each region, there are its own activities attracting visitors. For these reasons, the countryside is the ideal place for me to live.
