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.

The result of this research shows that there were 42 gerunds found in the Sport articles of the

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

The total of gerunds are as object 3 gerunds. The total of gerunds are as object of preposition

32 gerunds. The total of gerunds are as subject complement 2 gerunds. Gerund as Object of

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

January-March 2016.

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

in the sport articles of The Jakarta Post Issued in January-March 2016. It is suggested for the

Manusia berkomunikasi satu sama lain dengan bahasa. Bahasa adalah alat komunikasi

bagi orang. Kita dapat bertukar pengetahuan, menyatakan, merasa, keyakinan, berpendapat,

berkeinginan, ancaman, perintah, berterima kasih dan membuat janji-janji dengan sebuah

bahasa. Kita berkomunikasi tidak hanya dengan orang-orang lokal, tetapi juga dengan orang-

orang luar negeri di luar sana. Bagi mereka yang tinggal di negara yang berbeda di dunia.

Mereka berkomunikasi dengan satu bahasa kesatuan internasional yakni bahasa Inggris.

Bahkan, bahasa telah berperan penting dalam kehidupan manusia. Bahasa bisa

mengungkapkan segala sesuatu di pikiran seseorang. Dalam bahasa, kita akan menemukan

banyak jenis kata-kata karena pesan dari bahasa adalah dari kata-kata yang disampaikan

melalui lisan maupun tertulis.

Ada sebuah kata yang memang akrab dengan kita, tetapi keberadaannya dan maknanya

tidak banyak diperhatian dalam sebuah kalimat dan bahkan sebagian dari kita masih belum

tahu apa kata itu. Kata itu adalah gerund. Gerund adalah verbal yang berakhir di -ing dan

fungsi sebagai kata benda. Sebagai mahasiswa di jurusan pendidikan bahasa Inggris. Kita

harus menguasai tentang gerund dan juga fungsinya. Tapi faktanya, pemahaman gerund

masih rendah. Oleh karena itu penulis akan menganalisis gerund di Sport artikel olahraga di
