Default Gerund or Present Participle

Hi, my name is Mary and I am new to this site.
Can anyone help me please?
I need to know as soon as possible in plain English how to tell the difference between a Gerund and a Present Participle.

In theory I know that the Gerund is a noun acting as a verb but when it comes to actually deciding what the ...ing word is, when it is a sentence leaves me totally baffled.

Help!!
