Traveling is a great way to learn about the world outside of your own comfort zone.

Write 1–2 sentences identifying the gerund in this sentence and its function.
(Can someone check it and tell me if it's correct please?)
MY ANSWER:
The gerund is any word ending with an "ing". "Traveling" is the gerund in this sentence. Traveling means to go places.
(Please help me so everything makes sense and is correct.)
Thank you. (:

Not “any word ending in -ing …

The second sentence is correct.
The third sentence is incorrect. Again, you are to tell the gerund’s FUNCTION.
