gerund englanniksi

• puhekieltä A verbal form that functions as a verbal noun. (In English, a gerund has the same spelling as a present participle, but functions differently.)

• 1991, Edward Johnson, The Handbook of Good English, http://books.google.com.au/books?id=n0IJ8GcdJ6IC&pg=PA208&dq=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nQwEVMTaM4Lg8AWPloCADA&redir_esc=yv=onepage&q=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&f=false page 208,

Compounds in which gerunds are the second element look exactly like compounds in which present participles are the second element, but different principles of hyphenation apply.

• 2002, Dan Mulvey, Grammar the Easy Way, http://books.google.com.au/books?id=L9ni2hGHlMEC&pg=PA25&dq=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nQwEVMTaM4Lg8AWPloCADA&redir_esc=yv=onepage&q=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&f=false page 25,

Like any noun, the gerund functions as a subject, direct object, indirect object, object of the preposition, or predicate nominative. The gerund phrase is made up of the present participle ("-ing") and can contain an object and/or a modifier (and sometimes many modifiers). The gerund is a verbal noun.

• 2005, Gary Lutz, Diane Stevenson, The Writers Digest Grammar Desk Reference'', http://books.google.com.au/books?id=SsQ9ugnMcpUC&pg=PA55&dq=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=nQwEVMTaM4Lg8AWPloCADA&redir_esc=yv=onepage&q=%22gerund%22%7C%22gerunds%22&f=false page 55,

Gerunds and gerund phrases are always nouns, so they are always predicate nominatives when used as complements. Do be careful to distinguish progressive-tense verbs from gerunds used as subjective complements.

• puhekieltä In some languages such as Italian or Russian, a verbal form similar to a present participle, but functioning as an adverb. These words are sometimes referred to as conjunctive participles.
