A participle is a verb form that serves as an <b>adjective</b>. They can be either present or past participles, depending on which principle part of the verb is used.
Present participle: living, hearing, etc., with -ing as the ending.
Past participle: a verb’s 3rd principal part, such as walked, said, gone, etc.
A participial phrase includes the participle and other words directly connected by meaning. It modifies (describes) a noun in the main clause of the sentence.
<u>Seeing his sister</u>, the little boy ran to her.
<u>Attached by Scotch tape</u>, the pages formed a large chart.
