Marking is a verb meaning “to mark”.
Example: a teacher says to a student “I am marking you as late.”
Marker is usually a noun meaning “felt tip / soft tip pen”.
A “marker” can also be an object used to indicate something.
Example: “This test result could be a marker of cancer.”
Hopefully my examples aren’t too complicated.
