GRAMMAR FOCUS

Common Uses of the Gerund
gerundThe first common use of a gerund is to act as the subject of the sentence. For example,
		Swimming is a very good exercise.
		Running is not enjoyable for everyone.
Certain verbs are followed by gerunds in place of nouns. For example,
		He anticipates waiting for another hour.
She denied lying to her mother.

Since prepositions are always followed by nouns or noun phrases, then gerunds can also be used
after prepositions.
		I look forward to meeting you.
		
They will call us after seeing the presentation.
