Gerund phrases
consist of a gerund and any objects and/or
modifiers
A gerund phrase can look similar to a participial phrase
because the gerund has the same form as the present participle.
The main difference is that the gerund (phrase)
functions as a noun (
ie
. subject, object, subject complement,
appositive), and the participial phrase
as an adjective.
