type of verbal: gerund / participle / infinitive

Answer 1

“Jogging” is a gerund because it ends in “-ing” and is a verb that acts as a noun (the sentence centers around it)

Answer 2

Answer:

Gerund

Explanation:

A gerund is a type of verbal that do not act as a verb in a sentence but as a noun. This verbal is formed with the root of a verb + ing (or the present participle form of a verb).

For example, Jog + ing = Jogging (An extra g is added because the word jog ends with a vowel and a consonant).

In the sentence, jogging is a gerund because it functions as a noun (it refers to the practice of an exercise); furthermore, it is also the subject of the sentence as for it is what is being dealt with.
