Gerund Phrases
By: Kimberly Scott
They're fun, they're cool, they're Gerund Phrases!
A gerund phrase will begin with a gerund, an ing word, and will include other modifiers and/or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence.
Examples:
That was fun, swimming in the beach.
Having a pepperoni pizza, I looked over my homework.
Riding the bike, I took a look around the neighborhood.
Flying in circles, the helicopter was seen from afar.
I'm enjoying this, kayaking through the river.
