In this lesson, we'll learn about the participial phrase and the gerund phrase. The participial functions as an adjective and the gerund functions as a noun.

Participles and gerunds are types of verbals. A verbal is a verb form that can function as a noun, an adjective, or even an adverb.

Because the participial and the gerund both end in ing, this causes confusion for many students.

In this video, you'll learn how to distinguish the participial phrase from the gerund phrase.

A short quiz is given.
