Gerund means participle.
Two Types of Gerund :
(A) Present Participle : By applying “ing” to verb.
Any action word (verb) which adds value to the subject or noun, adding “ing” to that verb makes Present Participle. It is also known as “Participle of Phrase”.
(B) Past Participle: By applying “ed” to Regular Verb.
“ed” should not be applied to Irregular Verbs because it has different Past Participle.

As a Noun : When Present Participle is used
as Noun it generally comes as Subject
followed by main verb or helping verb and then
follows the Object which may be a Noun.
Ex. Swimming is the best exercise.
Here, “Swimming” is subject & Present
Participle followed by “is” helping verb and
“exercise” is an object which is also a Present
Participle.

As an Adjective : When a Present Participle is
used as an Adjective, it generally comes either
before or after the Noun. It adds the meaning
to the Noun.
Present Participle comes after Preposition.
Ex. A barking dog is behind me.
Here “Barking” is Present Participle which is
before “dog” (Noun). “Barking” word adds
meaning to the subject “dog”.
