Gerund and Participle in English Grammar

Let us discuss some of the gerunds when the verb is in the present form. We will describe breifly as  1. Play - Playing, 2. Swim - Swimming, 3. Steal - Stealing, 4. Ride - Riding, 5. Jump - jumping 6. Act - acting, 7. Recieve - Recieving, 8. Smoke - Smoking, 9. Fish - Fishing, 10. Dance - Dancing Let us come through some of the examples where gerunds appear in the middle of a sentence. 1. You must practise writing every day. 2. Stop acting in the film until you are clear in the action. 3. Rama loves designing room. 4. Reshma start playing as yet. Before a gerund possessive pronoun is used which describes any noun which will be either an adjective or a possessive pronoun and placed to the left side of  the noun. Here are some of the examples. Good girl, smart boy, ugly crow, large box, my instrument, her sister, his brother, their boat. As in the above case we can use a pronoun or a noun before a gerund and it must be in the possessive form
