What are gerunds and gerund phrases?
A gerund is a present participle used as a noun. A present participle is a verb formed by adding "-ing" to the infinitive of the verb.
A gerund phrase starts with a present participle and includes other words that work with the participle. The entire unit functions as noun in the sentence. A gerund phrase can contain complements and modifiers.Examples of gerund phrases
