What is a participle?  

Participles are a particular form of verb that has two main purposes:

(Choose all that apply)

Connect with auxiliary verbs to create different tenses

Turn the verb into an adverb to modify other verbs, such as pat perfect.

Turn the verb into an adjective to modify nouns.

Connect with auxiliary verbs to modify adverbial clauses

Answer explanation

Participles are a particular form of verb that have two main purposes:

1) Turn the verb into an adjective to modify nouns.

2) Connect with auxiliary verbs to create different tenses, such as the present perfect tense.

Here’s an example of participles used as adjectives: Let’s say you’re at a zoo looking at otters. One otter is eating, and another is swimming. You could distinguish them by saying, “Look at the eating otter” or “Look at the swimming otter.” In these examples, the verbs eat and swim are not acting as verbs; they’re acting as adjectives because they modify the noun otter.
