Hello
Please any one could guide and tell me what the idea is ?
Here in this page it says :
Forms of gerund Link
Having worked for twelve hours, I felt tired. (Perfect – active)
She is angry about having been criticized. (Perfect – passive)
Everybody is desirous of being praised. (Passive)
Not knowing what to do, she started crying. (Negative)
In another page I read: consider these forms are participles.
So, which is correct?
For this sentence says : After playing for an hour, he went home. (Playing – present participle)
OK I agree with
Thank you in advance

Hello.
I think there is a mistake in the title of that paragraph :
Forms of gerund. No! Various ING forms
Having worked for twelve hours, I felt tired. (Perfect – active)(participle)
She is angry about having been criticized. (Perfect – passive) gerund
Everybody is desirous of being praised. (Passive) gerund
Not knowing what to do, she started crying. (Negative) participle

Thank so much dear teacher gerondif
So, what about the other sentence ( After playing for an hour, he went home.)
Is ( playing ) participle or gerund ?
Thank you very much in advance

Hello
Thank you again
After (she had been) playing for an hour, he went home.( Present participle)
This is correct and clear 100 %
--
Also if you say :
After playing for an hour, he went home.( Present participle)
non-finite a sentence ( verbal non-finite ) I know
And your analysis is correct ( it is understood ) that he who did the action.
After he had played \ had been playing for an hour, he went ...
Finished action
Anyway ( the phrase modifies ) the subject pronoun ( he)
Thank you very much dear teacher( gerondif)
I got it
