Skiing is fun. Gerund as subject of the verb.

Running. Here, running is a gerund that as the object of the verb enjoys. The gerund phrase in this sentence is running daily.

Gerund phrases, which always function as nouns, will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence. Read these examples: Eating ice cream on a windy day can be a messy experience if you have long, untamed hair. Eating ice cream on a windy day = subject of the linking verb can be.

The easiest way to tell the difference between the gerund and the present participle is to look for the helping verb “be”. If you find a form of “be” followed by the -ing form, that’s the present participle.

Gerunds and infinitives can replace a noun in a sentence. Gerund = the present participle (-ing) form of the verb, e.g., singing, dancing, running. Infinitive = to + the base form of the verb, e.g., to sing, to dance, to run. Whether you use a gerund or an infinitive depends on the main verb in the sentence.

Participles are words formed from verbs:

1. Present participles always end in -ing and function as adjectives.
2. Past participles end in -ed, or other past tense irregular verb endings, and function as adjectives.
3. Perfect participles combine having with a past participle.
4. Participial phrases modify the subjects of sentences.

The verb used to is a ‘marginal’ modal verb. Unlike the other modal verbs, it is only found in the past tense. Therefore, when it is used with do to make negatives and questions, the form of the auxiliary verb is always did….Used to – Easy Learning Grammar.

The form considered correct following did, at least in American English, is use to. Just as we say “Did he want to?” instead of “Did he wanted to?,” so we say “Did he use to?” instead of “Did he used to?” Here again, only in writing does the difference become an issue.

We usually use ‘would + infinitive’ in this way when we’re telling a story about the past. So, we can say: When I was a student, we would often have a drink after class on a Friday. When I lived in Italy, we would go to a little restaurant near our house.

We can use “used to” to talk about a past habit or state. “Used to” is the same for all subjects, and you follow it with the infinitive without “to”: “I / You / He / She / We / They used to smoke.” To make the negative, use “didn’t” + use + to + verb.
