| To form the gerund, take the first principal part, drop the
-o, add the thematic vowel (-a- for 1st conjugation, -e- for 2nd, 3rd, 3rd
-io, and 4th conjugations), add -nd- and the case ending. Gerunds do
not exist in the nominative so the following table gives the accusative
form of the
gerund:

Participle |
| amo, amare, amavi, amatum |
amandum |
| debeo, debere, debui, debitum |
debendum |
| rego, regere, rexi, rectum |
regendum |
| capio, capere, cepi, captum |
capiendum |
| audio, audire, audivi, auditum |

Gerunds decline like 2nd declension nouns
with the exception that gerunds do not have nominative or plural forms.
