Question
Which one of the following is not the example of subject gerunds?
- Gardening is my favorite hobby.
- My neighbors admire my gardening.
- She received several awards for her gardening.
- Both B and C
Hint:
A gerund is the part of a verb ending in '–ing' that is partly a verb and partly a noun.
The correct answer is: Both B and C
'My neighbors admire my gardening' and 'She received several awards for her gardening.'
In the first sentence, the gerund 'gardening' functions like the object of the verb 'admire'. Therefore, it is not a subject but an object gerund. In the second sentence, the gerund 'gardening' is governed by a preposition. The gerund is used as an object of the preposition.
