Hi! I was looking for some info about the difference between gerund and the present participle. I thought I got it, but now I realize it is not that simple.
When I saw this, I got reallly confused
Please read it carefully because first I thought one of them was wrong then I started to doubt...
A washing machine: Gerund = A machine for washing.
A washing machine: Present Pariciple = A machine that washes.
Is washing a noun (gerund) or an adjective (p.participle)???:-?
So I now I'm not sure how to identify a gerund or a p.participle
