I'll give you an answer, but I don't think you will believe it until you have done the work and have lived a few more years. Analyzing a sentence for phrases improves your thought processes for learning and for figuring out life situations later. So, it isn't just about the gerunds, but it is all about how you solve the problem. Have fun with them!
