Answer 1

;m; Incorrect. So, what do we already know about gerunds? (Don't use Gewgleeee)

Answer 2

I won't xDDD
It's a noun from a verb by adding 'ing'. :3

Answer 3

Correct. So, we know that nouns are the names of a person, place, or thing. And we also know a verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence. So, if a gerund is a noun made from a verb, we know that this is going to be an action, state, or occurence that we could just add "ing" to the end of it and it is now classified as a gerund. Let's try doing that.
Let's say we want to make a gerund with the action word as 'knock', what do we do to knock to make it a gerund and what is the word we end up with after?

Answer 4

knocking?

Answer 5

Correct! One more. Let's say we have the word "run" what is the word we have after we make it a gerund?

Answer 6

Running!
So my answer would be Farming?

Answer 7

Correct!! ^w^

Answer 8

It is a noun made from a verb by just adding "ing" to it. :3

Answer 9

Woohoo! x3

Answer 10

And when you guessed "back-breaking" if we take the "ing" away, it would be "back-break" but that is not an action, state, or occurrence. :3 So, that is why your guess was incorrect. ^-^
