Can we make plural forms of gerunds like this? Walkings, teachings, drivings..)A very interesting question. As a general principle they are uncountable. However there are a few exceptions. This list comes from the COBUILD grammar. This is an excellent series of books made on statistical examinations of modern English.
Beginning
feeling
meeting
setting
turning
being
finding
offering
showing
warning
building
hearing
painting
sitting
drawing
meaning
saying
suffering
Often these plural forms have a slightly different meaning so it is always wise to check in a dictionary.
