Gerund Itu Apa Sih?

 *Gerund Itu Apa Sih? Bukan ‘Gurun’ Ya! 🤭📘*

Gerund = Verb + ing (kata kerja + ing), tapi fungsinya kayak kata benda!

Misalnya: eating, reading, swimming

Contoh:

→ Swimming is fun. (Berenang itu menyenangkan)

→ I love reading. (Aku suka membaca)

 *Ciri-ciri gerund:* 

1. Selalu dari verb (kata kerja)

2. Ditambah -ing

3. Tapi jadi punya fungsi seperti noun (kata benda)

Gerund bisa jadi: ➤ Subjek:

Eating too much is bad.

➤ Objek:

I enjoy dancing.

➤ Setelah preposisi:

He’s good at singing.

 *Beda sama present continuous ya!* 

I am eating = present continuous (sedang makan)

Eating is fun = gerund (makan = subjek)
