Question 11 • English IV

Which can be used as the subject of a sentence?

Answer
A
a participle
B
a gerund
C
an adverb
D
an adjective

Explanation

A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun, so it can serve as the subject of a sentence. For example, in “Swimming is good exercise,” “swimming” is the subject. An adjective describes a noun, an adverb modifies a verb or other word, and a participle usually acts as an adjective.
