If a sentence has a structure of noun + gerund verb, it is called a

  1. compound sentence

  2. complex sentence

  3. gerund sentence

  4. simple sentence

The correct answer is: gerund sentence

Gerund sentences are a type of structure where a gerund verb is used after a noun instead of an infinitive verb. This results in a sentence where the noun and the verb are closely connected. In contrast, compound sentences are formed by joining two independent clauses, complex sentences have one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses, and simple sentences have only one independent clause. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not describe the specific structure mentioned in the question.
