Question

difference between gerund and participle.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Gerunds, Infinitives, and Participles are all types of verbs. A gerund is a verb that ends with -ing (such as dancing, flying, etc.), that functions as a noun. ... A participle also ends in -ing like a gerund, but it does not function as a noun. Instead, they form the progressive tense of a verb.

$\bold{\LARGE{\underline{\sf{Answer:}}}}$

A gerund is a verb that acts like a noun. 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 participle is an adjective made from a verb. ... In this sentence, is is the verb, and running, functioning as a noun, is the subject.
