Quoting Quasimodo: there is a simple test to identify if a (confusing) construction is in gerund or participle form. If you can use it in place of noun in a sentence, then it is gerund, otherwise participle.
"Yüzme güzel bir etkinliktir."
Swimming is a nice activity.

I'm very confused now!!
You are saying the oppositte of I learned.
A participle is a verbal construction that have both functions as an adjetive or a noun:
"Ali ile konuşanı tanımıyorum". (I don't know the one who is talking with Ali)
By the other hand, a gerund is a verbal construction that has an adverbial function because modifies the verb:
"Bana gülümseyerek baktı". (He looked at me smiling)

Quoting natiypuspi:
I'm very confused now!! |
Sorry natiypuspi! You are right. Obviously it was me who confused gerund with participle. I have checked and recalled again that gerunds, not participles, indicate the manner of an action. Apart from this, the examples, including yours, are correct.

Normally I might have been able to reply you with a "you are welcome", but since I caused you to be confused, I see no right in my hand to reply, "You are welcome!". Hehe!
