Grammar
The+Gerund(~ing)
I feel sometimes I've seen the cases that there are "the" in front of "gerunds". Couldn't someone tell me in which cases I can use "the" together with "gerund"?
Thank you in advance.

Do you mean something like, "The crying of the lambs was disconcerting." ?
You can use the definite article when referring to a particular thing.
If you're referring to the thing in general, you would not usually use the article:
"If you're trying to get your own way, crying is not going to work!"

Oh! Thank you so much,Mr.Avangi. It seems that I've sometimes seen "the+ gerund". I'm just curious on when I can put "the" there. I think only your explanation can be enough to present statue of mine. Thank you once again,Mr.Avangi.
