Nouns Ending in -ing


Test a word for its Noun properties

A true noun vs. verbal form [gerund-participle]


NOUN WORD FORM
A noun may end in -ing. To test if a word is a noun: (1) put an article before it or (2) a prepositional phrase after it. If not awkward sounding, then the word shares these properties belonging to nouns.

NOUN PHRASE


(1) ACCEPTS AN ARTICLE
The landing was not difficult.

The landings were not difficult.

(2) IS SINGULAR OR PLURAL IN AGREEMENT
The landing / A landing is not difficult.

The landings / landings are not difficult.

(3) ACCEPTS MODIFIERS
A smooth landing was not difficult. (Adj)

The landing of the airplane was not difficult. (Prep Phrase)

The landing that the pilot made was impressive. (Rel Cls)

(4) DOES NOT ACCEPT A NOUN PHRASE COMPLEMENT


*The landing the plane was not difficult.

GERUND WORD FORM


A verbal form called a gerund (gerund-participle) ends in -ing. If it is a gerund, it (1) will not accept an article or any modifiers and (2) will be singular in agreement. See Gerund-Participle comparison of properties.

GERUND CLAUSE


(1) DOES NOT ACCEPT AN ARTICLE
Landing the plane was not difficult.

*The landing the plane was not difficult.

(2) IS ALWAYS SINGULAR IN AGREEMENT
Landing was not difficult.

(3) DOES NOT ACCEPT MODIFIERS


*Smooth landing the airplane was not difficult.

*Landing of the airplane was not difficult.

*Landing that was smooth was not difficult.

(4) MAY ACCEPT A NOUN PHRASE COMPLEMENT


Landing the plane was not difficult. (Object noun)

Also see Participle Modifiers 2 and Gerunds.

Also see Noun Properties | Noun, Verb, Gerund, Participle Properties. (Apply tests to determine if a word functions as other members in a category.)

Nouns ending with -ing

"deverbal nouns" (Huddleston 19 5.7.2g)

If you are unsure whether a word ending in -ing is a noun, add a determiner and/or a modifier. For example, compare "landing" and "flying". Add a determiner: The landing was smooth. *The flying was smooth. Or add a modifier: The landing in Atlanta was smooth. *The flying in the airplane was smooth. [Use the flight instead.] However, we could say, "The flying of the national flag is a sign of patriotism."

Common Mistakes


Errors and Solutions

Focus and Solution


ERROR
Informal speech may include using a verb form as a noun when a true noun form exists:

~ What's the ask on that house?

~ Let's see the reveal.

~Have a listen to this.

~ Do the reboot and call me later.

Using a noun form as a modifier when a true adjective exists:

~ The education research suggests that we need to improve in math.

SOLUTION
This trendy usage is probably occurring as shortened form in texting.

What is the asking price. / What is the question regarding that house?

Let's reveal the changes. / The revelation caused a protest.

Listen to this. Take a look at this.

Reboot it and call me later. After rebooting, call me.

The educational research suggests that we need to improve in math.

The research in education suggests that we need to improve in math.

Note: In many cases a noun can modify another noun, however, if there is an adjective form for a word, use it.
