    • Gerunds are verbs that act like nouns. They are formed by adding “-ing” to verbs.
    For example: swim_ swimming
    • Gerunds can come either after the main verb in a sentence (when they are used
    as objects) or before the main verb (when they are used as subjects)

    Complete the sentence below by using the “-ing” gerund form of the verbs on the right.
