Nouns that come from gerunds in Russian are really important for building sentences. They start off as verbs but function like nouns. Let’s break it down step by step:

1. How They are Created:

   • Gerunds are created by adding special endings to verbs.
   • For example, the verb "бегать" (which means "to run") becomes "бег" (which means "running").

2. How They are Used in Sentences:

   • As the Subject:
     • Example: "Бег – полезен" means "Running is good."
   • As the Object:
     • Example: "Я люблю бег" means "I love running."
   • As a Modifier:
     • Example: "Я занимаюсь бегом" means "I am doing running."

3. A Few More Examples:

   • "Пение" (singing):
     • "Пение улучшает настроение" means "Singing makes you feel better."
   • "Чтение" (reading):
     • "Чтение развивает интеллект" means "Reading helps your brain grow."

Using these nouns in the right way can make your writing clearer and more interesting!
