Question

you are. making a kite what is present participles in these sentence​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Original question: "I like flying kites". Here the word "flying" is gerund or participle?

It is a gerund, not a participle. A gerund is a verbal noun, whereas a participle is a verbal adjective. To test if it is a gerund or not, substitute a noun ( or a noun phrase) for “flying kites” and check if the sentence makes sense. Here you can say any of these:

“ I like kite-flying.” ( Note the use of a noun here.)

“ I like the game (or act) of flying kites. (Note the use of a noun phrase here.)

But in the following example, “flying” is a participle, not a gerund.

“Flying kites, the children ran all over the place.”

Here the phrase “flying kites” is a participle, modifying the subject “children.”

Answer 2

Present Participle is a word that ends with -ing, is a form if a verb.

Here it is Making which is present participle.
