(THE GERUND)

Герундий является неличной формой глагола, которая называет действие. Герундий образуется прибавлением суффикса –ing к основе глагола, то есть по форме совпадает с причастием I.

Данная форма обладает чертами существительного и глагола. В русском языке нет формы, соответствующей герундию.

Герундий имеет 4 основные формы.

Из четырех форм герундия в основном употребляется простой герундий, реже – перфектный и пассивный. Перфектно-пассивный герундий употребляется крайне редко.

1. Простой герундий (Indefinite Gerund) – обозначает действие, которое выполняет лицо, выраженное подлежащим. Простой герундий показывает, что обозначаемое им действие одновременно действию, выраженному глаголом-сказуемым, или следует за ним.

Eg.: I like reading. Я люблю читать.

Иногда простой герундий может выражать предшествующее действие:

а) после глаголов to remember, to thank, to excuse, to forget.

Eg.: I can’t remember her crying.

Я не могу припомнить, чтобы она плакала.

б) после некоторых предлогов: after, on, before, without, since.
