Answer 2

Explanation:

Read the sentence :

Going on the road, the boy met with an accident.

The word ‘going’ qualifies the noun ‘boy’ as an adjective does. It is formed from the word ‘go’. The word ‘going’ therefore has something of an adjective and something of a verb too. Such words are called Participle. It may be called a verbal Adjective.

Def. A participle is a form of verb which takes the nature of both—a verb and an adjective. .

2. Study the following sentences with participles :

We met a boy carrying books.

Knocking at the gate, he was crying bitterly.

Thinking about the problem, he sat down.

He fell down fighting.

The participles used in the above sentences end with-ing. They are called present participles. Please note that present participles represent an action in progress or we may say the action which is incomplete and going on.

3. However, a participle can represent an action which has been completed. In such cases the third, form of the verb is used. Such participles are called Past Participle.

Study the following sentences :

Blinded by dust, the man stopped on the road.

Deceived by friends, he felt very sad.

Time wasted is the time lost.

Tired by walking, he called a cab.

I saw a plant laden with flowers.

Besides the Present Participle and the Past Participle, we have Perfect Participle too. It represents an action completed at some past time.

Use of Participle

4. You can easily see that the ‘continuous tense’ is formed from the ‘present partici¬ple’ with the verb ‘be’.

I am reading. I was reading. I shall be reading.

Similarly, the Perfect Tense is formed with Past Participle with the verb ‘have’.

I have read. I had read. I shall have read.

5. We have seen that the participles serve the purpose of an adjective. They may be used before or after the noun they qualify :
