Answer:

Adding -ing to the base form of a verb creates the present participle.

For example, eat is the base form of the verb to eat.

The present participle of eat is eating. Present participles always end in -ing.

Other examples of present participles include swimming, laughing, and playing.

I. The present participle can function as an adjective and modify nouns in     sentences.

For example:  In the sentence “The winning athlete gets a trophy,” the present participle winning describes the noun athlete.

Present participles appear in progressive (or continuous) verb tenses, which show when a verb or action was/is in the process of happening. For example:

A sentence in the present progressive tense is: “She is sitting now.”

A sentence in past progressive tense is: “She was sitting there 10 minutes ago.”

A sentence in future progressive tense is: “She will be sitting at her desk in an hour.”

All three of these sentences indicate when she was/is in the process of sitting.
