PARTICIPLE
A verb form that is used as an ADJECTIVE.

PAST or PRESENT
End in ing, -d, -ed, en, -t

Participles can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentences, but they
MUST BE relatively close to the noun or pronoun they modify.
Participles are ONE WORD.
Participial phrases consist of that ONE WORD plus modifiers (all the words that refer to
that participle).
STEPS to finding the
participle or participial phrase
1. Find the subject.
2. Find the real verb.
3. Look for other words that look like verbs (word endings are the clue).

Ex 1.

The pouring rain drove us inside for the party.


Pouring is the participle
It describes rain.
Avoid getting the participle confused with the REAL verb in this case
drove.

Ex 2.

Known for her patience, Mrs. Williams was his favorite teacher.
known is the participle
for her patience is the modifier
This phrase describes Mrs. Williams.
Subject and REAL verb: Mrs. Williams was

Ex 3.

The marine biologist, diving near a reef, saw a shark.


diving is the participle
near a reef is the modifier
This phrase describes the biologist.
Subject and real verb: biologist saw

Five forms of Participle:


1.) Present Participle, active
- ends in ing. It is often used when we want to express an active action.
Example: Her smiling face made everyone happy.
2.) Present Participle, passive
uses being with the past participle. It is often used when we want to
express a passive action.
Example: Being frightened, the child cried loudly.
3.) Past Participle
is the third principal part of a verb used with a helping verb to make the
perfect tenses in the active voice and all the tenses in the passive voice.
Example: The girl saw the broken glass.
4.) Perfect Participle, active
- uses having with the past participle. Having may be called the sign of the
perfect active participle.

Example: Having read the book, the boy came out of the room.
-

5.) Perfect Participle, passive


uses having been with the past participle. Having been may be called the sign
of the perfect passive participle
Example: Having been fed, the dog settled down to sleep.
Correct Use of Participial Phrases
Since the participial phrase is used as an adjective, it should be
placed near the noun or pronoun it modifies.
Give more sentence examples.
Example: Having worked for the whole day, Gina felt very tired.
(Having worked for the whole day modifies Gina.)
Let the class differentiate all the five forms of participles.
Ask the class to make their own examples of sentences using
participles / participial phrase.

To understand dangling participles, we need to talk about participial phrases.* These


are just phrases that contain a participle and modify the subject of the sentence.
They can include words besides the participle, such as prepositions, pronouns, and
nouns.
The way they modify the subject isn't as straightforward as a single adjective modifying
a single noun, but the participial phrase is still modifying a nounthe subject.

Here are some examples to help make it more clear:


- Floating in the pool, I marveled at the clouds.
- Biting his victim, the vampire felt a
momentary thrill.
- Beating you over the head with examples, I hope to make you
participial phrases.
