Introduction:
The relevance of our research: Gerund - is impersonal form of the verb, which is endowed with the qualities of a verb and a noun. In the Ukrainian language there isn*t similar form that’s why it*s difficult to determine what to use as a object after some certain words. Depending on the author of the textbook we can distinguish different word lists after which we should use gerund. There is a list of stable structures with prepositions after which usually follows gerund. The use of Gerund is a serious problem for students. The theme of our research is actual because of the need to learn more impersonal form of gerund. Gerund hasn*t equivalents in Ukrainian language that’s why interest to its research keeps popularity among scientists .
IP Ivanov, RG Kverk, VN Komissarov, L .P. Krysin, SP Romanov, KA Savchuk should be allocated among active researchers of our time. Practical grammar books which were written by foreign authors including R. Murphy, A. Robinson, M. Foley, D. Hall, N. Coe, V. Evans, L. Edwards are particularly valuable for our research too. Research object of our termpaper is gerund as impersonal form of the verb
Research subject of our termpaper is gerund and its features (properties)
