Step-by-step explanation:

A gerund is a noun derived from a verb by adding -ing to its root. For example, driving is a noun derived from the verb to drive (drive + ing - driving). Just like other nouns, in the sentence, gerunds function as subjects, direct objects, indirect objects, objects of prepositions, or complements.

Gerund phrases are groups of words that consist of a gerund and its modifiers or objects (e.g. planning a party, driving a car).
