Common mistakes

Using this noun in a sentence

• Nouns name a person, place, thing or idea. Countable nouns take a determiner and have a plural: one book, two books.
• A common noun is lowercase unless it begins a sentence; a proper noun is always capitalised.
• English normally puts the determiner before the noun — a big idea, the same rule, my old bag — so build the frame around the word before you fill in the verb.

Where this word sits in the grammar

Gerunds (intermediate level)

Use the gerund after prepositions and after verbs like enjoy/suggest/avoid. "Look forward to" is followed by a gerund: I look forward to meeting you.

The rules in short

• 1. Gerund: verb-ing acting as noun — Swimming is fun.
• 2. After prepositions: interested in reading, good at singing.
• 3. After certain verbs: enjoy, avoid, finish, mind, suggest, keep, practise.
• 4. After certain phrases: it's no use, it's worth, look forward to.
• 5. As subject: Reading improves the mind.
• 6. Do not confuse gerund with present participle (participle acts as adjective or part of continuous tense).

Examples from that topic

• Swimming is good exercise. — तैराकी अच्छा व्यायाम है।
• I look forward to meeting you. — मैं आपसे मिलने की प्रतीक्षा करता हूँ।
