I've never even heard of that. I just had to look it up.

The Gerund Form - The gerund form is the present participle (basic verb + -ing) used as a subject or a direct object of a sentence, or as an object of a preposition (e.g., Singing is fun).

And I still don't understand it. Not good when I want to be an English teacher...

when people ask me about it (no, really...it DOES happen), i like to make up crazy stories about where the "gerund" form came from. usually envolving somebody named Baron Edwin von Gerund, and maybe a timeframe, like "in the late 8th century". people dont even question it. lol.

Haha. Nice one. That sounds like fun. Maybe I can force some students to write about Baron Edwin von Gerund in their exams when I become an English teacher.
