Our lesson for today is all about Participles and Participial Phrases. Let us first
discuss the meaning of a participle.
It says here that a participle is one of the types of verbal in the English Language. It
can be used as an adjective in a sentence.
There are two types of participles. The present and past participle. Later on, we will
discuss their differences.
Examples are:
1. Today, I am going to show you about an interesting insect called the bombardier
beetle.
2. The interested mantis got blasted away by the bombardier beetle’s projected spray.
For number one, what do you think is the participle used in the sentence? Is it interesting?
How about number two? Is it interested?
Great job!
Task 5. What is a Present Participle?
The teacher elaborates the two types of participles. She gives the meaning of a
present participle and some examples.
For the first type of participle, we have the present participle. The present participle, is
a type of participle that ends in –ing.
Example:
In this sentence, “smiling” acts as an adjective in the sentence and it modifies the
noun “winner”.
The next type of participle is the past participle. The past participle, unless irregular,
end in –d or –ed.
Example:
In this sentence, the participle in the past tense is “dented” and it modifies the noun
scooter. So it acts as an adjective in a sentence.
Present and past participles do not always have to appear before the nouns.
Examples are:
Now let us have a little practice. I want you to point out the participles used in the
sentences.
No, Ma’am.
