Difference between gerund and participle

When learning English grammar, we learn about the verb form called “participle”. Participles are derived forms of verbs, that are used in sentences as adjectives or adverbs. Participles are also very important when forming verb tenses such as present continuous, past continuous and future continuous.
Gerunds are also verb forms, but, unlike participles, they act as nouns. The is the key difference between gerund and participle is that gerunds are used as nouns while participles are used as adjectives and adverbs, and used for forming verb tenses.
A gerund is a verb form acting as a noun, which can be used to describe an action. A few examples of gerunds include "jogging," "skipping,What ", "cooking", "singing" and "reading."
Gerunds can be used as the subject, object, complement of the object or object of a preposition in a sentence. https://www.notesflux.com/2017..../04/gerund-and-parti
