The sentence "The girl recited the poem beautifully" is active. The subject of the sentence is "the girl" and the action is "recited". This is evident as the subject is the one performing the action.
To rewrite the sentence in the passive voice, we would need to change the subject to the object or receiver of the action. Thus, the sentence in the passive voice would be "The poem was recited beautifully by the girl."
Alternatively, if we wanted to write the sentence in the active voice, we would need to change the subject to the one performing the action. Hence, the sentence in the active voice would be "The girl beautifully recited the poem."

A participle is a verb form used as an adjective. In the first sentence, "sitting" is used as a participle, modifying the noun "him". It describes the state that he was in.
A gerund is a verb form used as a noun. In the second sentence, "sitting" is used as a gerund, and it serves as the subject of the sentence. It is the action or activity that is being referred to.
Gerunds and participles are both forms of verbs that end in "-ing", but they function differently in sentences. Participles act as adjectives, modifying nouns or pronouns. In the first sentence, "sitting" is a participle because it describes the noun "him". Gerunds, on the other hand, act as nouns and can serve as subjects, objects, or possessives. In the second sentence, "sitting" functions as a gerund because it acts as the subject of the sentence.
In summary, gerunds and participles are related in that they are both verb forms ending in "-ing", but they have distinct functions in sentences. Gerunds act as nouns, while participles act as adjectives.
