Review the Gerund rules:

Name	Gerund
Rule	We use the Gerund 1) after some verbs (we have to remember them): risk, love, like, hate, stop # You risk missing your train. 2) after prepositions # I dream about living alone. I can’t live without eating 3) as the subject of the sentence # Smoking is bad for you.
Structure	Gerund can be: 1. Active Ving # I am proud of inviting people over. 2. Passive being V3 # I am proud of being invited to a party. The negative form is not+Ving # I am proud of not inviting them. I am proud of not being invited
Special Features	NB: We don’t use Passive Gerund after the verbs: need, deserve, require, be worth # The room needs painting. The film is worth watching. The child deserves praising. It requires doing

1. Possessive pronouns (чей?) and nouns (’s) are used before -ing forms. # Do you mind my smoking? # She was angry at Lina's trying to lie to her.	Subject Pronouns	Possessive pronouns:	Object pronouns
I	my	me
2. In an informal style it is more common to use object forms # Do you mind me smoking? # She was angry at Lina trying to lie to her.	you	your	you
he	his	him
she	her	her
NB: After some verbs (see, hear, watch, feel) possessives are not normally used with -ing forms. Use object pronouns! # I saw him getting out of the car.	it	its	it
we	our	us
they	their	them
