In this post we would learn some more about the topic gerund. One of the actual rule is using a gerund alongwith an appropriate preposition to replace an infinitive verb. Gerunds must be used after particular verbs used  firstly. They are appreciate, consider, deny, dislike, enjoy, excuse, fancy, forgive, imagine, keep, mind, pardon, remember, understand and risk. Some of the examples are given below.

8. Forgive my asking this help.
9. Imagine my participating in a essay writing contest?
10. Don't keep standing in the outside ground.
11. Do you mind passing a cup of milk?
12. Pardon my saying so, you are too selfish to gain this place.
13. Don't you remember meeting me last friday at this very function.
14. I cannot risk going to the park all by myself.
15. I understand your waiting here, but I cannot see you now.
16. We cannot give-up our calling.
17. The CBI looked forward to arresting the criminal soon.

In the same way, some first verbs like want, wish, hope, try, agree, attempt, demand, expect, learn, refuse, promise, manage, seem etc. Let us discuss some of the examples using the above verbs.

1. Do you want to see me?
2. The client wishes to meet you madam.

4. Do you agree to do this work for a small amount?
5. Stalin hopes to replace me as Captain.
6. Mother expects to clear our debts by next year.

8. Does he need to take a loan?
9. Prabash has managed to complete this film just on time.
10. The tuition master has promised to admit you in his class.
