A gerund is a type of noun that is formed by adding the suffix "-ing" to a verb. It functions as a noun in a sentence and can be used as the subject, object, or complement of a verb. Gerunds are often used to express actions or activities, and they can also be used after prepositions. For example, in the sentence "Swimming is my favorite hobby," "swimming" is a gerund acting as the subject of the sentence.
