erund Phrases

Gerund phrases

consist of a gerund and any objects and/or

modifiers

A gerund phrase can look similar to a participial phrase

because the gerund has the same form as the present participle.

The main difference is that the gerund (phrase)

functions as a noun (

ie

. subject, object, subject complement,

appositive), and the participial phrase

as an adjective.
