Is light a wave AND/OR a particle

[noname2020x]

I heard recently that it cannot be both a wave and a particle, yet I've always been taught it kinda is. I don't know what to believe. I know it has the properties of both a wave and a particle, but can it be both? What properties make it seem like a particle?
