The Gerund in Russian grammar is a non-finite verb form that combines the features of the verb and the adverb. Gerunds in Russian are made from a verb and function to describe actions happening simultaneously with the main verb in a sentence or to describe a cause, a purpose or a condition of an action. The Gerund in Russian usually ends in “-ั,” “-ะฐ,” or “-ะธ” and is generally equivalent to the English gerund that ends in “-ing.” In this exercise, we will practice using Gerunds in Russian grammar.
