Question

Locate the verbal in the following sentence and identify its type.

Bob enjoys listening to music.
infinitive
participle
gerund

Answer 1

The verb is "listening" and it is a gerund because it doesn't describe the act of listening to music, rather the existence of listening, which may or may not be enjoyable, thus it doesn't take the form of a predicate, but is very similar to a noun, which is why it is a gerund.
