: The subjects are noun ma’am.

Very good Liana. And what made you

say that it is a noun not a verb? Could
you elaborate your answer?
Very good. Now take a look at these
example class:
: Because praying in the sentence does not
function as a verb instead it serves as the
noun.

Let us take sentence no. 1 for example

and analyze it:

Prayingwith all the fervors of your heart

S function as noun
will light up your soul.

Youare praying with all the fervors of

S VP
your heart will light up your soul.
(flashed on screen through powerpoint)
Did you notice the difference between
the two sentences class?Take note,
that not all words ending with “ing”
are gerunds. So be extra careful in
indentifying your gerunds : Yes ma’am

Very good. Now, let us see if you really

understood. Any volunteer to give a
sentence having gerund as the subject
that serves as a noun. : Seeing my crush made my day
wonderful.
Where is the subject? : seeingma’am.

Is the subject a noun or a verb? : Nounma’am.

What about a sentence where the

word with “ing”serves as the verb? : Ma’am I am loving you secretly.

Where is the verb? : loving Ma’am.

So what is the function of loving in the : verb ma’am.

sentence?

Excellent. So It seemed everything is

clear to you that gerunds are nouns that
is being formed from a base form of a
verb + “ing”.
