When a participial phrase functions as a subject/object of a sentence, it's becoming a gerund? For example, "Walking frequently is healthy." "Walking frequently" in this case both a gerund and a participle phrase? Another example "I like dancing in the dark." – here "dancing in the dark" both a gerund and a participle phrase? Or participle phrase transforms to gerund? Can't figure out what's going on :)

Have fun with this example: The running man is wearing running shoes. If you have the well-known book English Grammar in Use, consult units 60, 80, and 98.

Hi Lara. Participal phrases function as adjectives. For example "Wearing a red dress, the girl entered the party" Gerund phrases always function as nouns. This would be the case in both of your examples Cheers

In both examples, "dancing" is used as a noun, that is a gerund. It functions as an adjective in: "I see a woman dancing in the dark".
