The difference between the gerund and the participle I





 

Present Participle Gerund
1 Cannot be used as subject and object. 2 When it is used as an adverbial modifier or attribute it is never preceded by a preposition. 3 As predicative participle gives qualitative characteristics to the subject. 4Participle I denotes an action that the person or thing performs. Thus the modifier noun denotes the doer of the action expressed by the participle. 1Can be used as an object and subject. 2 When is used as an attribute or adverbial modifier it is preceded by a preposition. 3 The gerund does not qualify the subject, it identifies the subject by revealing its meaning. 4 Gerund usually reveals the meaning of the modified noun, which never denotes the performer of the action. 5 Only the gerund is possible when the starting final point of the action is meant.
