Plenary What is a gerund? Gerunds are verbals that function as nouns and have an ing ending. Gerund examples: I am waiting. (Present Participle) (This is the present continuous. Waiting here is part of the verb. It is not a gerund.) I don t like waiting. (Gerund) (This is present simple, but it contains a gerund. Waiting is the direct object of this sentence.)
