Abu, having read your explanation I now feel that I must go and lie down in a dark room to recover. I reckon I am going to need a couple of examples on a small piece of card, and every time a discussion about gerunds takes place I can surreptitiously sneak a look. (Have I just split an infinitive?)
Thanks Mark, I am off to take a look and see if I can garner my examples there.
Well, I've been and read and now I'm back - 'noun-verbs' is a good thing to put on my card, and then I will create some sentences to remind me of what that means.
Mind you, the reality is that in the circles in which I move, pigs would fly sooner than the word ever being used. (But, I like to learn new things, it keeps the old brain working)
