Chapter 149: How to Smile and How to be Kind

Zhong Li and Shu Xian continued talking about his homework. With Shu Xian further explaining to Zhong Li what a gerund is, it made doing his homework easier.

"Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. They're very easy to spot, since every gerund is a verb with –ing tacked to its tail," Shu Xian started, Zhong Li, nodding as he took note of it in his notebook.

"Also," Shu Xian spoke again, Zhong Li taking note of what she said next. "Remember, they act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs. To find gerunds in sentences, just look for a verb plus –ing that is used as a noun."

With Zhong Li taking note of this, Shu Xian patiently waited, already looking at the next part of his activity. As she turned the paper that she wrote on a while ago, she wrote infinitives and wrote sentences again that would help Zhong Li understand.
