Hi Experts,
I need your help in figuring out Gerunds and how they work. I am reading this section in GMATClub grammar book " Verbs always followed by Gerund" This section lists a certain sets of verbs that should bealways followed by Gerunds.
I have my own variation to correct usage of these verbs. I cant figure out the flaws with my usage. However, it does not follow the rule that 'certain verbs should be followed by Gerunds'. Can you please help me clear this doubt.
For example : 'admit ' verb should be followed by Gerund
Correct Usage : The thief has admitted stealing jewelry from the store.
My Usage : The thief has admitted of having stolen the jewelry from the store. [ Is "having stolen" a gerund ? ]
For example : 'delay'
Correct Usage : You should delay travelling until the weather clears up.
My Usage : You should delay your travel plans until weather clears up.
I appreciate your help!

It is not very advisable to blindly follow a certain set of rules in English. A lot of times usage of parts of speech and words depend on the context and the meaning of the sentence. The sentence: "The thief has admitted stealing jewelry from the store." is not grammatically perfect!

Hello freakygeek...
Gerunds act as nouns, and so can stand alone.
For ex:
I love walking
Sleeping is good
I am thinking and so on...
What do you mean by stand alone? To know, let's think of participles.
Participles act as adjectives, and so will always describe a noun and cannot stand alone
ex:
He's on sleeping pills.
He gifted her some walking shoes.
Your thinking style is familiar and so on...
Check my post on modifiers where you will see what are gerunds/participles and what kinds are tested on gmat.
