A participle is a type of verb that can function as an adjective in a sentence.
Present participles always end in -ing.
Past participles can vary, but they often end in -ed, -en, or can be irregular (for example, "written," "eaten," "gone").
To clarify your statements:
- The correct answer for the function of participles in a sentence is adjective.
- Present participles always end in -ing.
- For past participles of irregular verbs, they do not follow a strict rule but often end in various forms such as -en, -t, or do not follow a predictable pattern at all.
