Question

Ms. Sue the chompchomp helped me a lot. BUT!!!! confused on this one.

Pausing, the deer was sniffing the wind before stepping into the meadow.
I believe "Pausing" is a participle. I don't believe it is a gerund used as a noun.
Ms. Sue
You're right. In this sentence, "pausing" is a participle modifying "deer."
