explain present participle with an example
Answers
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.
