Hello welcome to this tutorial.

00:05.610 --> 00:10.800
Today we're going to talk about the jarring let's get started.

00:12.810 --> 00:21.660
The gerund looks exactly the same as the present participle but the gerund always has the same function

00:21.870 --> 00:26.100
as a noun although it looks like a verb.

00:26.250 --> 00:35.420
Note that the gerund is a noun made from a verb by adding I n Jean have a look at the following example

00:36.430 --> 00:40.800
cooking at home can help you save a lot of money.

00:40.810 --> 00:55.950
Note that the word cooking has the same function as a noun but it is made from the verb Cook.

00:56.060 --> 01:07.300
Now when a verb ends with e we get rid of E and add i n g to the verb when we want to create gerund.

01:07.540 --> 01:21.290
Have a look the example over here make turns into making right writing and when a verb ends with a vowel

01:21.860 --> 01:37.490
plus a consonant we double the consonant and add i n g for example net knitting swim swimming and when

01:37.490 --> 01:52.170
a verb ends with I E we turn it into Y then add i n g s in the following example Nai Naing di di

01:54.860 --> 02:04.660
remember that the gerund can be made negative by adding knots for example in this sentence we have the

02:04.660 --> 02:11.140
best thing for your health is not smoking.

02:11.200 --> 02:18.510
Note that the gerund can function as a subject of the sentence.

02:18.520 --> 02:31.020
For example smoking causes lung cancer deterrent smoking is the subject of the sentence be the complement

02:31.230 --> 02:35.110
of the verb to be for example.

02:35.300 --> 02:45.050
The hardest thing about learning Russian is memorizing the verbs of movements note that the gerund memorizing

02:45.410 --> 02:48.440
is the complement of the verb to be is

02:51.540 --> 03:02.010
also know that the gerund can be used a after prepositions or as part of expressions such as there is

03:02.010 --> 03:12.700
no point in in spite of etc. Have a look at the following examples can your brother count to ten without

03:12.710 --> 03:23.840
looking at his finger in the sentence the gerund looking is used after the preposition without end in

03:23.840 --> 03:34.370
the sentence there is no point in going back to his place now the gerund going is used after the expression

03:34.520 --> 03:35.900
there is no point in

03:39.200 --> 03:51.950
b the gerund can be used after phrase verbs the are composed of a verb plus preposition or adverb for

03:51.950 --> 04:03.760
example I ended up buying a new computer note that ended up is a free zone verb which is composed of

04:03.760 --> 04:09.400
a verb and did end up preposition.

04:09.540 --> 04:20.550
Have a look at the second example Rachel gave up drinking sugary drinks the gerund drinking comes after

04:20.790 --> 04:29.270
the all verb gave up which is composed of a verb gay and up preposition.
