A gerund is a verb form that ends in "-ing" and functions as a noun in a sentence. Gerunds can be used in various roles, such as the subject of a sentence, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition. For example, in the sentence "Swimming is fun," the gerund "swimming" serves as the subject. In "I enjoy reading," "reading" acts as the object of the verb "enjoy."
