Use a correct gerund in the blank space: I like ______ pictures.
- a.painting
- b.painted
- c.to paint
- d.paint
Answer: (A) painting
A gerund is a verb form ending in '-ing' used as a noun. After 'like', both a gerund and an infinitive can be used, but the question specifically asks for a gerund form, which is 'painting'. 'Painted' is a past participle, and 'paint' here would be a bare infinitive.
