How do you determine if the word is a verb, a participle or a gerund?  First find the word that is the simple subject and then what the simple verb is. Then see how the subject and verb are being used.  If the verb is being used as a noun, then it is a gerund.  If it is being used as an adjective, then it is a participle.
