More information :-

• If a word ends with -ing, it could both be a gerund or a participle.
• Gerund is basically a noun. Eg:- He is reading. (here, reading stands alone in the sentence.)
• Participle are basically adjective which describe something. Eg:- A barking dog (here barking describes the subject - dog)
• How we can differ between gerund and participle is to see if the given word describes something or not.
