What is a gerund phrase?

A gerund phrase is a group of words that includes a gerund (a verb form ending in -ing that functions as a noun) and any modifiers or complements associated with it. It acts as a single unit and can function as a subject, object, or complement in a sentence. For example, "Running in the park" is a gerund phrase where "running" is the gerund and "in the park" is the modifier.
