Present Participle Or Gerund
I'd like to see if 'talking' is present participle or gerund as in 'We soon got talking'.

The sentence is not really grammatical. It needs to be something like this: We soon got to talking about the weather.

"Talking" a present participle, but it really doesn't matter. The important thing is that it is a verb.
"Talking" is actually a clause (with the verb "talking" as head) functioning as complement of "got".
