Learning English grammatical rules with you is such an amazing experience.

I didn't watch this to learn English Grammar; I watched it because your attitude is a whole positive energy 💯

If you can substitute "it", you know you have a gerund. "I love surfing." If we are talking about surfing, you can say, "I love it" and people will know what you're talking about. Same with gerund phrases: "Surfing the point is fun." If we're talking about 'surfing the point', I can say, "It is fun" and you know you have a gerund. I really like these Arnel videos. She's really good.

This is such a great video. Although I am English, I did not received much in the way of specific Grammar lessons when I was at school. So, when my international friends ask me "why do you say I do not always know the answer. Both my Mum and younger sister are English Language Teachers and and during lockdown have been going through this stuff with myself and my older sister. It has been really helpful. This video is is perfect for me as this week, my home work is to investigate Gerunds.

This explains why the watchers need to be instructed to correct the English language and the answer to this question is none other than the teacher teaching the “gerund of English”.
