Description
This grammar lesson focuses on the verbal gerunds and helps students understand how gerunds and gerund phrases function within sentences. Designed for middle school and high school ELA classrooms, this resource builds a strong foundation for analyzing sentence structure and noun usage.
Students learn through a clear PowerPoint lesson on gerunds that explains how gerunds are formed and how they function as four different types of nouns: subject, direct object, object of the preposition, and predicate nominative. The lesson reviews essential grammar rules related to gerunds, helping students accurately identify both form and function.
Students then apply their learning through practice exercises that require them to identify gerunds, gerund phrases, and determine which type of noun each gerund is functioning as within a sentence. This guided practice strengthens grammar accuracy, sentence analysis, and writing clarity.
An answer key is included to support efficient grading and lesson implementation. This gerunds grammar lesson is ideal for grammar units, writing instruction, syntax review, or test preparation focused on verbals and parts of speech.
