Definitions:
Noun
gerund
Definition: a noun formed from a verb (such as the `-ing' form of an English verb when used as a noun)
Definition: A verbal form that functions as a verbal noun. (In English, a gerund has the same spelling as a present participle, but functions differently; however, this distinction may be ambiguous or unclear and so is no longer made in some modern texts such as A Comprehensive Grammar of the English Language and The Cambridge Grammar of the English Language)
