Explanation

Explanation

In the sentence "Children were making love castle",

the word "making" is a verb, but specifically, it functions as a main verb in the sentence

Verb: "Making" is a form of the verb "make,"  indicating an action.

Main verb: "Making" is the main verb,  part of the verb phrase "were making."

The structure of the sentence is the past continuous tense (with the auxiliary verb "were" and the main verb "making").


NOTE 

Why "making" is not a gerund:

A gerund is the -ing form of a verb that functions as a noun.

For example, in the sentence "Making love castles is fun," "making" would be a gerund, as it is the subject of the sentence.

However, in your example, "making" is describing an action, not functioning as a noun.

Explanation

The object is the noun that receives the action of the verb.

In this sentence, "football" is what he is playing, so it's the object.
