Adjective vs noun

Hello

Which is correct (work or working experience, dress or dressing sense)any similar eg.

is this answer correct ' since work and dress are both nouns and verbs, so if I add ing to verb form it will be an adjective (working/dressing) else if i use noun form (work/ dress) it would work as label. Thus both are correct ' please explain

Also out of context but please answer this as well

We know Is + being + verb ( present continuous in passive) ,

Q. is being used as verb or gerund here?

Similarly

Is + to be(infinitive) + verb

Q. Is this also in passive voice as above

(Future simple passive) ie same as - going to be

Thanks
