The confusion between English Gerund, an "ing" verb form used as a noun, and a Spanish Gerundivo, a progressive continuous verb form used with estar, is further confused by the use of the English Gerundive used to describe a Latin verb form. Is this the same as the Spanish gerundio?
It seems to me that they are all essentially present participles used as different parts of speech.
