Participles
Types
- Present Participle
- Past Participle
- Present Participle
- Here running is come alone without any helping verb, so from this we got to know that ‘running’ is not a part of tense.
- If we use only’ run’ instead of ‘ running’ it doesn’t make any sense.
- So when v1 + ing comes alone, without them sentence doesn’t make any sense is known as participle.
- If it in the present tense (is, are used), then the participle is known as Present Participle.
- Here participle is act as an adjective.
- Past Participle
- Used for all perfect tense forms of a verb and in the passive voice.
Example: He hid the money in his recently gotten shirt.
Here gotten is past participle because:
- It acts as adjective because it adds the quality or describes about noun. (Here noun is shirt)
- No helping verb is used with ‘gotten’ so it cannot be a part of tense.
- It is third form of verb.
