Explanation:
The verbal 'Sprinting' in the sentence is acting as a participle that modifies the noun 'gazelle'. Participles are different from gerunds and infinitives in function.
In the sentence, 'Sprinting, the gazelle outran the three lionesses,' the verbal is 'Sprinting'. It is acting as a participle, a word formed from a verb and used as an adjective or a noun while in this case, it's being used as an adjective. It's describing the gazelle's action, and hence, its role in the sentence is modifying the noun 'gazelle' to provide more information about how the gazelle is behaving.
Participles can often be confused with gerunds and infinitives, but they're different in their function. While participles act as adjectives, gerunds (-ing form of verbs) act as nouns, and infinitives (the 'to' form of verbs) often act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
