2.  What are phrases?
 What are gerunds?
 What are appositives?
 Can a gerund phrase be an appositive phrase
at the same time?

3.  Phrases are collections of words that contain
nouns and verbals but they do not have a subject
doing a verb.
Examples:
eating ice cream
Freddy, the neighbors cat, is fat

4.  Gerunds are nouns which are mistaken to be
verbs because like verbs in present progressive they
also end in “–ing.”
 The only difference is that they are nouns.
Hence, they may function as subjects, subject
compliments, direct objects, indirect objects, and
objects of the preposition.

5. SUBJECT VERB SC
Swimming on Saturdays has been his passion
S LV SC
His first love is Swimming
S VERB DO
He enjoys swimming

6.  An appositive is a noun renaming another
noun. This is to give further information on
something or someone we have said already.
* Always remember that appositives are
separated from the other words in the sentenced
by commas

8.  Example:
Keith, the most hardworking student, is highest
academic honoree.
Theresa and Jerry, the couple from Bacolod, is
going back to the Philippines next week.

9.  Example:
Her job, journalizing, is not easy
The skills, reading and writing, were taught to us by
our teachers since we were in kindergarten

10. I. Identify the gerund and its function in each
sentence
1. Drinking while driving is dangerous.
2. Jearim’s hobby is dancing.
3. Chico felt like eating.

11. II. Punctuate the following sentences to
distinguish the appositives
1. Jerry the mouse is running away.
2. Sir Davila our mentor is writing on the
board
3. Hienrick the guitar player was singing a
while ago

12. Thank You :)
