I'm a little confused about the difference between a preposition and a gerund. Can you clear it up for me?

A preposition is a word that describes a relationship between two words, such as "in" or "on." For example, in the sentence "The cat was on the mat," the word "on" is a preposition. Gerunds are verb forms that act like nouns. In this case, the word "on" acts as a noun to describe the action of being on something.
