4. Participle
​

Answer 1

Stealing is a Gerund .

A gerund is a -ing-ending verb that takes the form of a noun and is used as a verb. As you may know, a noun is a word we use to refer to persons, places, objects, and ideas, whereas a verb refers to acts or states of being. A gerund is a combination of a verb and a noun. It has the appearance of a verb but behaves like a noun.

A verbal with the ending "ing" that serves as a noun is known as a gerund. A gerund, like the other two types of verbals, is based on a verb and hence expresses action or a state of being, as indicated by the term "verbal."

Example - Killing , eating , playing etc.
