In the sentence "The battered old car was sitting in the body shop," the participle phrase is "battered old." This phrase describes the noun "car" and provides additional information about its condition. The word "battered" acts as a past participle, while "old" is an adjective that complements it. Together, they form a participial phrase that modifies the subject of the sentence.
the participle phrase in this sentence is "sighing loudly."
A participial phrase that does not modify the nearest word, suitable to be modified by a participle*, to the phrase in the sentence in which the phrase occurs is called "dangling". In the most glaring instances, the word that the participle is intended to modify is not even in the sentence, as in "Sitting in my chair, the light was very weak." It is the speaker or writer who was sitting in the chair, not the light! ______________________________________________________ *Nouns and pronouns in their nominative or objective case [but not in their possessive case], verb, adjectives, and adverbs are suitable.
A participle dangles when the participle phrase is not sufficiently close to the word that the participle (or participial phrase) modifies. If the participle is the first element in a sentence, the modified word should be the next word. The most egregious example of a dangling participle occurs when the word modified does not even occur in the same sentence as the participle, as in "Sitting in my chair, numerous events occurred".
The participle in the sentence is "Speaking," which is a present participle that functions as the present participle phrase at the beginning of the sentence. It describes the action being performed by Curt.
A participle phrase is a phrase that includes a present or past participle verb and its modifiers. It functions as an adjective in a sentence, providing more information about a noun or pronoun. For example, "running quickly" or "cooked by the chef" are participle phrases.
A participle phrase consists of the participle, an object or a complement, and any modifiers. For example Kissing the child gently, the mother cuddled the little girl. Kissing the child gently would be the Participle Phrase.
The participle is the single word "been", the past participle of "to be".
The participle phrase in the sentence is "riding a horse." It functions as an adjective to describe the sheriff and the action he is performing.
In the sentence "Washing his car, the lights were on," the participle phrase is "Washing his car." This phrase modifies the subject of the sentence, but it creates a dangling participle because there is no clear noun that it describes. To clarify the meaning, it could be rephrased to specify who was washing the car.
In the phrase, "Charging at the red cloak, the bull missed his mark," the participle phrase is "charging at the red cloak." It is a participle phrase because it works as an adjective in the sentence.
