Hello afsheen,

"Gerunds" are the nounlike words derived from verbs. They function like nouns in sentences but have hybrid characters due to their verb origins. Namely, they don't officiate as verbs but have all their rigths; can be constructed as passive and perfect, or can take objects and complements like verbs.
