Gerund Phrases

A gerund phrase is a phrase that contains a

gerund and a modifier or an object and, in

some cases, both of these. Here are three

examples of gerund phrases:

Apologizing to them

Underground exploring

Running with scissors

A gerund phrase, just like a gerund, acts as a

noun in a sentence. Take a look at how these

gerund phrases play this role:

Apologizing to them is important to me.

My brother enjoys underground exploring

with his friends.

I don’t advise running with scissors at this

time (or ever).
