Yes but do not know how to try and use it in a sentence correctly so I need some help

umm:

Basically it’s adding “-ing” at the end of a sentence. Example: instead of saying “She can dance”, you would say, “She is dancing”.

umm:

Participles are basically the same thing with an additional verb to the sentence. A verb is a form of action if something that’s happening.

ShadowKid3:

the girl was jumping with joy would be an example of a gerund i think

Here are a few ideas for paragraphs that incorporate three gerunds and three participles: 1. Cooking: Cooking is a passion of mine. I love experimenting with different flavors and techniques. One of my favorite ways to unwind after a long day is by cooking a delicious meal. Chopping vegetables, sautéing onions, and seasoning the dish with aromatic spices are all activities that bring me joy. I find that cooking allows me to express my creativity while also providing a comforting and satisfying experience. 2. Gardening: Gardening is a therapeutic hobby that brings me closer to nature. Spending time outdoors, tending to my plants, and nurturing them to grow into vibrant flowers or bountiful vegetables is a rewarding experience. Digging the soil, watering the plants, and pruning the branches is a meditative process that allows me to connect with the earth. Gardening also provides a sense of accomplishment as I witness the fruits of my labor bloom and thrive. 3. Exercise: Engaging in regular exercise is vital for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating activities such as running, swimming, and cycling into my routine allows me to stay active and energized. Jogging in the park, swimming laps in the pool, and cycling through scenic routes are all forms of exercise that keep me physically fit and mentally refreshed. By embracing these activities, I am able to improve my overall well-being and enjoy the benefits of an active lifestyle. Feel free to adapt these ideas or create your own paragraphs using gerunds and participles. Contact me in DMs if you need any help :)

Is says "A girl was jumping and dancing with joy. She was so happy she gets to be taking new academic classes" Is that a good way to use participles and gerunds in a sentence?

umm:

Yes, that would be correct.
