Gerund. Its forms and functions Герундий. Формы и функции.

Герундий представляет собой неличную форму глагола, выражающую название действия и обладающую как свойствами существительного, так и свойствами глагола. В русском языке соответствующая форма отсутствует. Функции герундия во многом сходны с функциями инфинитива, также сочетающего свойства существительного со свойствами глагола. Герундий, однако, имеет больше свойств существительного, чем инфинитив.

Герундий образуется с помощью окончания – ing, прибавляемому с соответствующими орфографическими изменениями к инфинитиву глагола: to run – running, to live – living, to try – trying. Отрицательная форма герундия образуется при помощи отрицательной частицы not, которая ставится перед формой герундия: for not coming in time – за то, что не пришла вовремя. Форма глагола, заканчивающаяся на -ing (например: writing, going) может быть в предложении причастием I либо герундием. Классификация –ing формы зависит от того, признаков какой части речи обнаруживается больше при ее использовании.
