Proofread for proper capitalization, punctuation, and grammar
A participle is a verb form that can be used as an adjective or to form verb phrases. In the first sentence, the word "sitting" is used as a participle to describe the pronoun "him". It functions as an adjective by modifying the noun "him", indicating that he is in a sitting position.
On the other hand, a gerund is a verb form that functions as a noun. In the second sentence, the word "sitting" is used as a gerund because it serves as the subject of the sentence. It is being discussed as a specific activity or action, rather than describing or modifying something else.
Gerunds and participles are related in that they are both verb forms derived from verbs. They both end in "-ing" and can be formed from the base form of a verb. However, their usage and function in a sentence are different. Participles act as adjectives or form parts of verb phrases, while gerunds function as nouns.
