The present participle of a verb, the -ing word, is also used as a noun called a gerund. The present participle can also be an adjective. Examples:
Verb: We were swimming at the community center.
Noun: Swimming is my favorite extra curricular activity.
Adjective: The swimming pool is closed today.
There are also a number of words that act as both a verb and an noun; for example:
I won fifty dollars on one roll of the dice. Or, You can dice the onions for me.
I'll have my roll with butter and jam. Or, I won fifty dollars on one roll of the dice.
Don't jam everything in together, you'll crush the berries. Or, I'll have my toast with jam.
