Lease is transitive verb,so can it be used this way
leasing is more popular than buying nowdays
I know that I can say leasing a video is more popular than buying one nowdays.
I do not know whether a transitive verb can be use as an object or subject in its "-ing form" without its object.

thank you,clive
why? is it because, as a teacher told me,
"A gerund (or verbal noun), whilst formed from the verb, is no longer regarded as a verb, but a noun - and nouns don't take objects!" ?

Hi,

"A gerund (or verbal noun), whilst formed from the verb, is no longer regarded as a verb, but a noun - and nouns don't take objects!"
Yes, the gerund refers to "the performance of the activity", like a noun.
However, I wouldn't say that it can't take an object. I'd say that it doesn't have
