What is paticipial?

Answer 1

"Participial" refers to a form of a verb that functions as an adjective, typically ending in -ing (present participle) or -ed/-en (past participle). Participials are used to modify nouns or pronouns and can also be part of verb tenses. For example, in the phrase "the running water," "running" is a present participial modifying "water." Participials can also form participial phrases, adding detail to sentences.
