Gerunds are sometimes called "verbal nouns".
When a verb ends in -ing, it may be a gerund or a present participle. It is important to understand that they are not the same.
When we use a verb in -ing form more like a noun, it is usually a gerund:
•Fishing is fun.
When we use a verb in -ing form more like a verb or an adjective, it is usually a present participle:
•Anthony is fishing.
•I have a boring teacher.
