Question

What is true when a noun precedes a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that is used as a noun)?.

Answer 1

you should use possessive pronouns or add an apostrophe and the letter s (that is, 's) to the noun to indicate ownership.

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is a noun followed by a gerund, possession is expressed by adding to the noun. A few examples of a noun + gerund with a possessive case are:

~The policeman got immediately into the burglar's house.

Besides, possessive pronouns are also used to indicate ownership before gerunds, as in:

~His loud talking disturbed the patients at the hospital.

~Their expensive travelling made people jealous.
