MY WRITTING A07
HI I´M GISELA RUIZ AND IN THIS CASE I´M GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THE GERUNDS (UNIT 15) , WELL AN EASY WAY TO INTRODUCE THIS LEASON ,IS BY DISCRIBING WHAT IS A GERUND ? AND ITS USE ,THE ANSWER IS THAT A GERUND AND ALSO AN INFINITIVE ARE USED TO PERFORM THE ROLE OF NOUNS IN SENTENCES (ACTIVITIES,THINGS OR PEOPLE) .
VERBS LIKE (LOVE,ENJOY AND LIKE) USUALLY DESCRIBE A MENTAL PROCESSES OR VERBS OF PERCEPTION , YOU CAN USE ANY VERBS (ENJOY,DISLIKE, DON´T MIND) BUT FIRST , YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME VERBS ARE ALWAYS FOLLOWED BY A GERUND , WHEREAS LIKE (LOVE, HATE AND CAN´T STAND) CAN BE FOLLOWED BY A GERUND OR INFINITIVE
IN ENGLISH VERBS AND VERBS PHRASES HAVE SOMETIME GERUNDS AS OBJECTS FOR EXAMPLE YOU CAN USE (AVOID, CONSIDER, ENJOY,KEPP,MIND,ETC)
EXAMPLES :
· I ENJOY SINGING WHILE I´M CLEANING MY BEDROOM
· MY DOCTOR SUGGESTED ME THAT I SHOULD AVOID DRINKING COFFE
