Gerunds, both noun and verb

When asked whether gerunds are nouns or verbs, I say they are both. Am I right? Do gerunds display characteristics of both nouns and gerunds?

e.g.

His repeatedly harassing her caused her to leave.

I realize that it is not a onbe-man show but I find, as a busy person, that it is difficult to know where to come in with so many requests for advice. If you have any advice on this problem let me know.-Ron in Tasmania

Hi Ron,

Welcome to the Forum.

My advice is to just answer what you have time for and what interests you in some way.
