Gerunds

Gerunds are nouns formed from verbs: walking, talking, thinking, listening.

A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund, like the other two kinds of verbals, is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being. However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily would, for example: subject, direct object, subject complement, and object of preposition. Gerund as direct object:

? They do not appreciate my singing. ? I will give up smoking next year.

My sister loves shopping at expensive department stores. Please write some example sentences with gerunds:

I love ______________________________________________. I enjoy _____________________________________________. My mother likes _____________________________________. My father dislikes _____________________________________. My boss loves ________________________________________. My best friend likes ___________________________________.

My old teacher can?t stand _______________________________________. We avoid ______________________________________________.

Small talk is generally talking about minor subjects, such as movies, sports, family, and fun. It is not serious talk about politics, religion, or finance. People make small talk all the time, and you should be ready to chat about many subjects.

One important part about small talk is the ability to ask questions. If you don?t know what to say just ask questions. Practice making questions on the following topics:

Example: Sports

What sports do you like? Do you prefer to watch or to play sports? What is your favorite team? Do you ever go to see a team play? Were you good at sports in High School? Who was the best basketball player in your High School?

What would you do if your friend told you that they didn?t like you anymore? 5. What would you do if you were in a boat and it was sinking? 6.

8. What would you do if you grew until you were fifty meters tall?

9. What would you do if you started to become smaller until you were only three

centimeters tall?

10. What would you do if someone hit a small child in front of you?
