What is a Gerund?

For example:
- *walking* (from "walk")

6. work → working
7. call → calling
8. watch → watching

---

✔ Explanation:

Each answer is formed by simply adding "-ing" to the base verb. This is the standard rule for forming gerunds in English, with a few exceptions involving spelling changes (e.g., dropping 'e', doubling consonants, etc.). However, in this worksheet:

- No spelling changes are needed, so we just add "-ing" directly.
- For example: *love* → *loving*, *rest* → *resting*, *jog* → *jogging* (double 'g' not needed here; it’s already correct).

> Note: "Recline" ends with a silent 'e', which is dropped before adding "-ing": *recline* → *reclining*.

Final Answer:

1. loving
2. resting
3. dancing
4. jogging
5. eating
6. working
7. calling
8. watching
9. feasting
10. reclining

✔ All answers follow the gerund rule correctly!
