Gerunds and infinities
Gerunds:
A gerund is a verb in its ing (present participle) form that functions as a noun that names an activity rather than a person or thing.
Ex. play > playing, cry > crying, bark > barking
- For verbs that end in e, remove the e and add ing. Ex: slide > sliding, ride > riding
- For verbs that end in ie, change the ie to y and add ing. Ex: die > dying, tie > tying
Infinities:
An infinitive is a verb form that acts as other parts of speech in a sentence. It is formed with to + base form of the verb.

Subjects, Verbs, and Objects
The subject is usually a noun—a word (or phrase) that names a person, place, or thing.
The verb (or predicate) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being.
The object instead of performing the action, as subjects usually do, objects receive the action and usually follow the verb.
Ex:
-
After the final song, the DRUMMER hurled his sticks at the crowd. - SUBJECT
