Present participles and gerunds

The present participle is often confused with the gerund which is also casually referred to as the 'ing' form of the verb. The difference between the gerund and the present participle can be confusing. The main difference is that a gerund is used as a noun:
Taking a vacation is important to your mental health.
We enjoy watching romantic comedies
