Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The sentences that do not have a gerund are:

C. She was dancing with her best friend.

D. After school gets out, I will be swimming most of the summer.

Explanation:

A gerund is a verb ending in -ing that functions as a noun. Because a gerund acts like a noun, it can be a subject complement -like sentence A-, an object -like sentence B-, a subject -like sentence E- or part of a compound noun -like sentence F.

In sentences C and D, the verbs with -ing are acting as main verbs rather than as nouns.
Answer 2
Answer: B. Dillon does not like writing letters.
D. After school gets out, I will be swimming most of the summer.
F. Come meet me at the swimming pool.

A gerund is mostly at the beginning of a sentence and states a noun. So always look for the noun of the sentence.
