Which of the following sentences contains a gerund? After a long day at school, there was nothing Chantal loved more than a long swim in the pool. Chantal loved to swim in the pool for fun, even when it wasn't a practice day. Chantal was quite accomplished at swimming; she had placed first in every competition since age eight. Since the age of eight, Chantal had won every competition she had entered.

Answer:

The sentence that contains a gerund is:

Chantal loved to swim in the pool for fun, even when it wasn't a practice day.

The gerund in this sentence is "swimming." A gerund is a verb that is used as a noun. In this sentence, "swimming" is used as the subject of the verb "loved.".
