Question

Choose whether the verb form in italics is a Gerund or Participle:

Singing is routine work for him.

• A. Gerund
• B. Present Participle
• C. Past Participle
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Gerund

Option A is the correct answer. Singing, here, is a gerund because, apart from being a verb, it also acts as a noun, functioning as the subject of the sentence. It is not a participle because it does not function as an adjective. Therefore, options B,C and D are all incorrect.
