Human beings communicate one each other with a language. Language is a tool of
communication for people. We can exchange knowledge, declare, feel, beliefs, opinions,
wishes, threats, commands, thanks and promises with a language. We communicate not only
with our local people but also with those international people outside there. For those who
live in different country around the world they communicate with one international language
that is English. In fact, language has played important role in human life. Language can
express everything in people mind by using it. In a language, we will find many kind of
words because the messages of the language is from their words which are delivered by
spoken or written.
There is a word that easily can be familiar with us but its existence and its meaning
are not much given attention in a sentence and even some of us still do not know what kind of
word it is. That word is gerund. Gerund is a verbal that ends in -Ing and functions as a noun.
As college students in English education department. We should master gerund and also its

functions. But the fact of understanding gerund is still low. Therefore the writer would
analyze gerunds in the Sport online articles of The Jakarta Post issued in January-March
2016. The objective of the research is to find out the most used gerund and its functions in the
sport article of the Jakarta Post issued in January- March 2016.
This is the qualitative research. The qualitative research will not give the numeral or
statistic but it depends on the knowledge of researcher to finish the analysis the writer
describes with words in the conclusion and the supported data in tables. The data source was
taken from in The Jakarta Post newspaper. The data are collected from The Jakarta Post sport
articles.

Jakarta Post Issued in January-March 2016. The total of gerunds are as subject 5 gerunds.

Preposition is the most used gerund in the Sport articles of The Jakarta Post Issued in

Based on the research above, the writer would conclude that there are gerunds found
