Nah, let me look up the definition.

Answer 7

A gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding "-ing." The gerund form of the verb "read" is "reading." You can use a gerund as the subject, the complement, or the object of a sentence

Answer 8

The gerund is a non-finite verb form that can function as a noun in Latin and English grammar. The English gerund ends in -ing. The same verb form also serves as the English present participle and as a pure verbal noun. Thus the -ing form in the English language can function as a noun, verb, adjective or sometimes adverb; in certain sentences the distinction can be arbitrary.
