volunteer to give a sentence having
gerund as that plays the role of a noun. : Seeing my crush made my day
wonderful.

Where is the gerund in the sentence? : seeing ma’am.

Is the gerund in the sentence a noun or : Noun ma’am.

a verb?

Good. What about a sentence where

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

What is the word that ends with “ing”? : loving Ma’am.

Now class, based from your observation,

who can define gerund? : (student will give their own definition)

verb.
Gerund (Direct object)

Now, let’s take a more careful look at the : I like going for a walk.

The gerund used in the sentence is
going. And to distinguish the Direct
object, it is answerable by the
question WHAT?

using gerund as the direct object. : (student will write sentence on the board,
read and underline the gerund).

Daniella give another example. : (student will write sentence on the board,
