I just watched this video to learn how to pronounce the word "gerund". I never heard this word before until I started learning Spanish, before now I was pronouncing "gerund" with a hard G, and like "ge-RUND", lol

It's the present progressive, which in Spanish is ando, endo, yendo. In French it's ant, and in Italian the ending is -ando, endo

@nellie2581 - No, gerunds are not the present progressive or the present continuous tense--whatever you care to call it. They act quite differently in a sentence. Its very important that you not confuse a gerund with the present progressive /continuous tense.

Your knowledge of grammar is exquisite:)
I also like how you are calm when explaining:)
Is "going to the beach" a noun phrase?
Is "to the beach" an infinitive used adverbally? Adverbs though only modify verbs, adverbs and adjectives, right?

Yes, "going to the beach" is a noun phrase. Substitute a noun for the phrase and you'll understand that: "I like the beach" "I like going to the beach."
"to the beach" is a prepositional phrase
