Gerund topics include: Gerunds, transforming infinitives into gerunds, and transforming participles into gerunds.

A gerund is a verb form that ends in "-ing" and functions as a noun. Gerunds can be used in sentences as subjects, direct objects, subject complements, and objects of prepositions. For example, in the sentence "Traveling might satisfy your desire for new experiences", "traveling" is the gerund. 

Here are some examples of gerunds:
Action: "Hiking," "swimming," or "studying"
State of being: "Refreshing" or "amusing" 

Gerunds are created by adding "ing" to the end of a root verb. However, a verb in the present participle form isn't automatically a gerund. 
Gerunds and gerund phrases usually don't require punctuation.
