Thank you ! Please also send 2-2 examples of each difference between gerunds and participles

Dear Student.

The present participle in English has the same form as the gerund, but the gerund acts as a noun rather than a verb or a modifier. The present participle of most verbs has the form base+ing

Present participle is the verb form. For instance,

  • I love sleeping.
  • He is singing.

However, a gerund uses the verb form as a noun. For instance,

  • Swimming is a good exercise.
  • Laughing helps you stay healthy.
We hope that this answer solves your query.
Regards
