Re: How to raise heart rate naturally. and in the spirit of trying to find the problem, not just fix the symptom: A lot of us have cold hands or feet and simply put up with it. For some people it can be a serious problem - especially if they get very cold.
Gerund Phrase. Sometimes a word or phrase appears to be a verb when, in fact, itâs something else. Itâs important to look at the function that a word or phrase plays in a sentence before determining its part of speech.
The gerund, 'swimming,' is the direct object in the sentence and is the thing that I love. Therefore, it is acting like a noun. The prepositional phrase 'with my swim team' modifies the gerund to show how I am swimming and, thus, creates a gerund phrase.
