Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Let’s take an ‘ing’ form of a verb and see how it can be both a gerund (noun) and a present participle (verb or adjective). TEACHING: it can be a gerund or a present participle.

Detailed explanation-2: -To find gerunds in sentences, just look for a verb + ing that is used as a noun. It’s that simple.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun. For example, “Running is fun.” In this sentence, “running” is the gerund. It acts just like a noun.
