`-ing form'

0I have learnt that (--`ing' form can be used in three forms)02br
02br
01b00I am playing football. [It is present progressive sentence]02b02br
02br
00Here `playing' is verb. So, it is `verb present participle' .02br
02br
01b00I am fond of swimming. [Here `swimming' is gerund]02b02br
02br
01b00We had a drink of the sparkling water. [Here `sparkling' is `adjective present participle']02b02br
02br
00So, I think `--ing' form can be used in three forms acting like (verb, adjective, noun).02br
02br
00Am I right?0-
