Question

Fill the blank with the correct form of the verb given in the bracket:

Every miser hates __________ money. (spend)

Answer 1

Gerunds are noun forms that are created using a verb + ing.

They perform the functions of a noun, like for example, as an object of the verb/action.

In the given sentence, it is the object/recipient of the action 'hates'. Also, it forms a compound noun with 'money'.

So, the answer is: Every miser hates spending money.
