జెరండ్జెరండ్ అంటే ఒక క్రియా రూపానికి '-ing' కలిపి 'noun' లాగా వాడితే దాన్ని gerund అంటారు. A gerund is the -ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun. For example, 'Smoking is bad for health.' D వాక్యంలో, 'smoking' is the gerund. It acts just like a noun.
Functions of Gerunds
· Gerunds as Subject
(Eg.Dancing makes Swati happy.)
· Gerunds as direct Object
(Eg. I hate smoking.)
· Gerund as Indirect Object
(Eg. The doctor diagnosed drinking as the cause of his liver problem.)
· Gerund as Subject Complement.
(Eg. It was smoking that caused him the lung cancer.)
· As object of Preposition
(Eg. Besides dancing, Swati likes singing.)
కాబట్టి, -ing form ని Continuous formsలోనే కాకుండా, పై విధంగా వాడవచ్చు.
