Verbs Used as Nouns
One special case is when a verb is used as a noun. Here the verb form is altered and it serves the same function as a noun in the sentence. This type of noun is called a gerund.
The gerund
A noun created from the - ing form of a verb is called a gerund. Like other nouns, gerunds act as subjects and objects in sentences.
Sleeping sometimes serves as an escape from studying.
The gerunds sleeping and studying are - ing forms of the verbs sleep and study. Sleeping is the noun functioning as the subject of this sentence, and studying is an object (in this case, the object of a preposition).
The problem gerund
Gerunds can sometimes be difficult to use properly in a sentence. What problems will you have with gerunds?
When a noun or pronoun precedes a gerund, use the possessive case of the noun or pronoun.
Jane's sleeping was sometimes an escape from studying.
Even when you think that the word before the gerund looks like an object, use the possessive case.
Jane was annoyed by Bill's studying.
not Jane was annoyed by Bill studying.
