A gerund phrase is used as a noun in a sentence. It functions as the subject or object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition. For example, in the sentence "Swimming in the ocean is my favorite activity," "swimming in the ocean" is the gerund phrase acting as the subject of the sentence.
A gerund phrase is a phrase that includes a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that acts as a noun) along with any complements or modifiers.

Gerund phrases consist of a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun) along with its modifiers and complements. They can serve as subjects, objects, or complements in sentences. For example, "Swimming in the pool" is a gerund phrase where "swimming" acts as a noun.
No, the phrase "the laughing boy sat down" is not a gerund phrase. A gerund is a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun, such as "swimming" in "I enjoy swimming." In this case, "sat" is the verb in the phrase "the laughing boy sat down."
Enjoy is a verb that is usually followed by a gerund phrase rather than an infinitive phrase. For example, "I enjoy swimming" uses a gerund phrase while "I enjoy to swim" is incorrect.
