The Gerundial Complex
The Gerund can have a subject of its own different from that of the sentence. (Compare: I insist on doing it — I insist on your doing it). In this case the Gerund and its subject form a construction called the gerundial complex. The relations between the elements of the complex are predicative. The first element of the complex may be expressed in a 48 number of ways: by а noun in the common case, a noun in the possessive case, a pronoun in the objective case, a possessive pronoun: boy’s (boy, my, me) doing smth, being done. The complex is used only if the Gerund has a subject, which is different from that of the sentence. The Russian equivalent of the complex is often a clause. E.g. 1. I’m so grateful for his helping me (Я так благодарен за то, что он помог мне). 2. Do you mind my waiting here? (Вы не возражаете, если я подожду здесь?) 3. How can you stand their making all that noise? (Как вы можете выносить то, что они так шумят?) The gerundial complex has practically the same syntactical functions as the gerund and is used in most of its patterns. Training Exercises Exercise 1.
