  1. gerundi

gerund englanniksi

  1. 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.)

  2. 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,

  3. 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.
  4. 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,

  5. 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.
  6. 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,

  7. 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.
  8. 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.
