Question

I don’t think going to the theater is a good idea.

Answer 1

In the sentence "I don’t think going to the theater is a good idea," the phrase "going to the theater" is a gerund phrase. A gerund is a verb form that ends in -ing and functions as a noun. In this case, "going" acts as a noun, making the entire phrase serve as the subject of the sentence.
