Let me explain the usage of gerunds in these sentences. A gerund is a verb form that ends in -ing and is used as a noun. In these sentences, the gerund is used as the subject or object of the sentence.

For example, in sentence 1, "Packing" is the subject of the sentence, telling us what the next thing to do is. In sentence 2, "Smoking" is the object of the sentence, telling us what is not allowed.

It's important to note that the translations may vary depending on the context and the native language. I have provided a general translation in English, but it's always good to consult a native speaker for accurate translations in your language.
