Question

explain abput participle

Answer 1

Here the word hearing qualifies the noun boy as an adjective does. It is formed from the verb hear and has an object – noise. The word hearing, therefore, has the properties of a verb and an adjective and is called a participle.

A participle is a word which is partly a verb and partly an adjective.

Note that in the example sentence given above, the phrase ‘hearing a loud noise’ which is introduced by a participle is called a participle phrase.

Answer 2

A participle (glossing abbreviation ptcp) is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb, or verb phrase, and plays a role similar to an adjectiveor adverb. It is one of the types of nonfinite verb forms. Its name comes from the Latin participium,a calque of Greek metochḗ"partaking" or "sharing"; it is so named because the Ancient Greek and Latinparticiples "share" some of the categories of the adjective or noun (gender, number, case) and some of those of the verb (tense and voice).
