“…Studies on the use of gerunds and gerundial formations by international learners illustrate that learners have difficulties in understanding these structures (Alshirah, 2013;Güven, 2019;Hasırcı, 2018;Kasapoğlu, 2012;Kıvırcık, 2004;Koşucu, 2007;Polat, 2018). In the literature, the studies of gerund and gerundial formations can be divided into two groups; the first group of studies concern with the use of gerunds and gerundial formations focusing on error analysis (Albayrak, 2010;Bakır, 2015;Boylu, Güney & Özyalçın, 2017;Büyükikiz & Hasırcı, 2013;Esawi, 2015;İnan, 2013Jarbold, 2012;Polat, 2014;Turhan, 2005;Yağmur Şahin, 2013) and the problems in language teaching and learning regarding these structures (Alshirah, 2013;Emiroğlu, 2013;Kara, 2010). These studies generally address the grammatical errors encountered in written expressions, treating the incorrect use of gerunds and gerundial formations cursorily.…”
