Question

can someone please explain difference between gerund and present participle with example​

Answer 1

Answer:

A gerund is a form of a verb used as a noun, whereas a participle is a form of verb used as an adjective or as a verb in conjunction with an auxiliary verb.

For example: Hiking is a verb, but when used as the subject of a sentence, it acts like a noun, e.g. "Hiking is something I do in the summer." ... A gerund ends in -ing, and functions as a noun. A participle ends in -t,ed,en,d,ing, and functions as an adjective.
