Gerunds as subjects and objects

Hiểu bài

The unit grammar uses gerunds—verb forms ending in -ing that function as nouns—as sentence subjects or objects. The ASEAN context includes volunteering, sharing traditions, developing skills, and working with people from other countries. Learners identify gerund forms in the unit conversation, then complete and produce sentences in which an activity occupies the subject position or follows a verb as its object. The lesson focuses on grammatical function rather than merely recognising an -ing ending, since not every such form has the same role.
