Question

difference between Participle and Gerund

Answer 1

Hey mate..
========

Thee following are the differences between participle and gerund:--

Participle:--
=======

A “participle” is a word having the characteristics of both verb and adjective. In English, it is a verbal form that has the function of an adjective and at the same time shows such verbal features as tense and voice and has the capacity to take an object, i.e., in "the sailing ship," the word "sailing" is a participle formed from the verb "sail." Present participles are formed by adding the suffix “-ing,” and regular past participles are formed by adding the suffix “-ed.” Irregular past participles are formed the same way irregular verbs are formed in simple past tense.

Gerund:--
======

A “gerund” is a verbal that expresses a generalized or uncompleted action. In English, the gerund takes on the function of a noun and always ends with the “-ing” suffix. At the same time, gerunds show the verbal features of tense, voice, and capacity to take adverbial qualifiers and to govern objects.


In short, participles act as adjectives and describe things; gerunds act as nouns and are used as subjects or objects.

Answer 2

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.
