The Gerund.

| 5. Before gerunds we can use nouns (Tom, the woman, they, etc.) or object pronouns (him, her, them, etc.), but possessive nouns and determiners (Tom’s / his, her, their, etc.) can also be used, typically in formal situations. Such combination of a nominal element expressed by a noun or pronoun with a verbal element expressed by the gerund in predicate relation to the nominal element is called a predicative construction with the gerund. | ||
| · I can’t recall Tom / Tom’s visiting us. · We listened to them / their arguing all night. |
