It can also be a noun for example: I love traveling. My hobby is swimming. Reading makes me calm. The ING-form in all these sentences are objects of the verbs.

Hi Mike. The two basic reasons for 'ing' are to make a verb progressive or simply a noun. Progressive verb: I am watching a movie. Noun: I always do the cooking at my house.
