Question

The gerund, a verb form that ends only in -ing, is used as an adverb. true or false

Answer 1

I believe it is false, since words usually ending in "ly" are adverbs and gerunds are verbs within a clause so that it may be modified by an adverb or have an object.

Answer 2

false,i think gerund can be said as a noun formed from a verb, describing an action, state, or process. In English, it is formed from the verb's -ing form, for e.g. "smoking" in "No smoking." In Latin it is a noun ending in "-ndum."
