Question

what is difference between gerund and participles​

Answer 1

Answer:

Participle is a form of verb i.e a non-finite verb that functions as an adjective.

EXAMPLE: I love to see the rising sun.

HERE, rising is the participle because it is a verb describing the noun SUN.

Gerund is a non-finite verb that ends in ing and functions as a noun.

EXAMPLE: All appreciated my singing.

Here, singing is the gerund and it is the object of the verb appreciated.
