2. Hi ! I’m Judy Hopps , the first bunny who joined the Zootopia's police department and I’m very willing to help you solving your Grammar problems!

3. I heard that you had a hard time understanding Gerund. Let me help you to learn and further understand it!

4. GERUND is a verbal that uses the present participle of a verb (the   ing form) but acts as a noun. . 

5. Officer Judy, How we can determine the functions of Gerund in a sentence?

6. That’s a nice question. Even though gerund is a noun, Gerund can act as a subject, subjective complement , direct object , object of the preposition and appositives.

7. Officer Judy, isn’t it confusing? We really had a hard time understanding it. Please give us examples.

8. Acting is fun. (Gerund as the subject of a sentence)

9. I love  acting. (A gerund as the direct object of the verb love)

10. I got this bruise from   fencing .   (gerund as the object of a preposition)

11. The best form of exercise, walking , is also the least expensive. (Walking is the gerund in this sentence and acts as an appositive explaining the best form of exercise.)
