A gerund is a verb with ing at the end that acts as a noun.


Example:

Smoking is bad for you.

In this example the verb "smoke" has ing at the end and acts as the subject of the clause and is therefore a noun.


Running is good exercise.

Sucking on tits makes me happy.


The third example is not the gerund, as this is simply the present participle progressive of to suck.

"Sucking on tits makes me happy" is an example of a gerund.

Verbal nouns such as gerunds (and infinitives) can still take their own objects.

So "sucking on tits" is the gerund-phrase subject of "makes."

Yeah, that's what I thought. Sucking must be a gerund since it's the subject of the clause and must therefore be a noun.

This is how I would dissect it:

Sucking -- gerund/subject.

On tits -- prepositional phrase acting adjectivally and modifying the subject.

Makes -- the verb of the clause.

Yeah you're correct. I didn't analyze it properly

Oh, you naughty grammarians. I'm flashing back to 9th grade English where my erotic daydreams would be interrupted by the teacher calling on me to go up to the board and diagram some fool sentence. Still, no doubt about it, it's tough not to like a string of posts that are both informative and LOL funny. That is, of course, strictly my humble opinion. ;)

Thank you! I have very vivid memories of being tied up and tortured to get me to diagram a sentence. Not true, but my English teachers would shake their heads and walk away at my efforts. Mostly I just memorize what it should be. One told me once she wasn't sure what would happen to me if I didn't understand English better.

Now I'm trying to learn how to write stories people want to read. My first effort at a memoir my kids want was so bad I threw up. Since then I've learned a lot and I'm getting ready to try again.

Not only that but they sometimes used a past tense entirely of their own invention. 'I seen' instead of 'I saw'; 'I done' rather than 'I did'. It's like the present perfect tense applied to the past. Of course they love me when I point out these flaws.

When I'm writing I'm never sure if it is came, come, or cum.

Quote by sprite


cum is usually used as a noun, while come is the verb, ie,

he came all over her face.

I want to come inside your wet hot cunt.

She licked the cum from her lips. smile


in Texas its always...cum...cumming...cummed

also a 'cunt' is a bitch that has a pussy between her legs.

The one that always got me with the kids was, "No Duh!" To me that was the epitome of ignorance for some reason. At least I think that's an irregular verb form. I'm still not sure what a participle is and the term Gerund is so far out of my ken it's gibberish.

My English teachers would stand and shake their heads at me watching me diagram a sentence. Now THAT is truly a non-logical thing because of all the conflicting rules.

I never got it.


no duh...is a polite way to say, "No shit."

Nope. Not for this erotica writer.

Come, verb, present tense.
Coming, verb, present participle.
Came, verb, past tense.

Cum, noun, the result of an orgasm. Synonyms: jizz, spooge, semen, cream, etc.

Of course, I respect anyone's right to use any commonly used word for their own purpose. However, I draw the line at 'cummed'. THAT is not a word. It's nonsense.

Cumin is a flowering plant in the family Apiaceae, native from the east Mediterranean to Pakistan/India. its seeds are used in the cuisines of many different cultures, in both whole and ground form. it also has many uses as a traditional medicinal plant.

'cunt' is also a prick that has a penis between his legs.

That film 'Honey, I shrunk the kids' was on TV the other day. I realised it should be 'Honey, I shrank the kids,' or 'Honey, I've shrunk the kids.'
