example of participle

1 answer

A participle is a form of a verb that can function as an adjective, and it often ends in -ing (present participle) or -ed (past participle for regular verbs). Here are examples of both:

  1. Present Participle:

    • "The running water was soothing." In this case, "running" describes the noun "water."

  2. Past Participle:

    • "The broken vase lay on the floor." Here, "broken" describes the noun "vase."

These participles help to add detail and description to sentences.
