      Сочетание герундия с существительным в притяжательном или общем
падеже, притяжательным местоимением, личным местоимением в косвенном
падеже или группой слов, которые являются субъектом действия, выраженного
герундием, составляет единое целое и может выступать в качестве члена
предложения в тех же функциях, что и герундий. Герундиальный комплекс
