A participle and a gerund both end with '-ing'; however, they play different roles. A gerund acts as a noun, whereas a participle acts as an adjective or helps in forming verb tenses.
Examples:
- Singing loudly annoys the neighbors. (Gerund phrase, subject)
- The singing bird woke me up. (Participle, describing a bird)

The '-ing' form of a verb is called the present participle. It can act as:
- A gerund (noun)

- Part of a continuous tense
Examples:

The boiling water is hot. (Present Participle)
She is cooking dinner now. (Continuous Verb)

In English, a gerund phrase is a gerund plus any object, modifier, or complement that goes with it. Just like a gerund, a gerund phrase also works as a noun.
Example: Watching movies at night helps me relax.
Here, Gerund is “Watching” and Modifier is “movies at night”.
