Отглагольное существительное по форме совпадает с герундием, т.е. образуется от начальной формы глагола при помощи окончания –ing.
Например:
read – the reading
читать – чтение
smoke – the smoking
курить – курение
come – the coming
приходить – приход
sing – the singing
петь – пение
Несмотря на то, что герундий и отглагольное существительное похожи друг на друга, между ними есть различия.
