gerund

A gerund is sometimes called a verb-noun.  A gerund is formed with a base verb + -ing.

Use a gerund when your sentence structure requires a noun (something), but you want to talk about an action.

e.g.1,  I love camping.    (What do I love?)

e.g.2,  He gave up smoking.   (What did he give up?)
