Mrs. Pumphrey had a dog named Tricky. She overfed him out of love and concern. He was not given any physical exercise. So, the dog fell ill and started vomiting also. It made Mrs. Pumphrey so much worried that she had to call the veterinary surgeon, Dr. Harriot for his treatment.

Mr. Herriot’s strict advice was to cut down Tricki's diet and give him a lot of water and more exercise to avoid illness. But Mrs. Pumphrey did not pay heed to his advice. She made an excuse that Tricki seemed so weak that she had to relent and could not refuse him.

Mrs. Pumphrey thought that her dog was suffering from malnutrition. So she gave him some little extras like malt, cod-liver oil and a bowl of Horlicks to bring him back to normal health. She was not wise in doing this because this worsened Tricki's health.

Gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. They’re very easy to spot, since every gerund is a verb with ing tacked to its tail. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Like all things grammar, gerunds do take a tiny bit of detective work to spot. The problem here is that present participles also end with the letters ing. Besides being able to spot gerunds, you should be able to tell the difference between a gerund and a present participle.
Let’s go back to the definition of a gerund for a moment. Remember that gerunds are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Present participles do not act as nouns. Instead, they act as modifiers or complete progressive verbs. To find gerunds in sentences, just look for a verb + ing that is used as a noun. It’s that simple.
Examples of Gerunds
As you read these examples of gerunds, notice the verbs they contain, and notice that every single one of them ends in ing. By the end of this quick lesson, you’ll have no problem recognizing gerunds when you see them.

Tricki was Mrs. Pumphrey’s pet dog. The dog fell ill due to overfeeding. So Mrs. Pumphrey called Mr. Herriot, a veterinary surgeon. He examined Tricki and decided to hospitalise him immediately. The ‘parting scene’ was full of worries, excitement and panic. Mrs. Pumphrey’s household staff were worried. They rushed with Tricki’s belongings like bowls, beds, cushions etc. Mrs Pumphrey began to cry loudly when Dr. Herriot carried Tricki in a blanket to his car. She had always treated Tricki like her own child. She loved him so much that she pampered him beyond limits out of concern. So she gave out a despairing cry when the Doctor moved off with Tricki. At the parting time of Tricki, almost every member of the family was in tears. It was like a member of their family was going to be hospitalised. Thus, the scene ended with deep sorrow.
