PARTICIPLES: Level B
The participles are:
Present participles (playing, running, etc.),
Past participles (played, written, etc.) and
Perfect participles (having written, etc.).
Present and past participles can be used as adjectives.
The present participles (-ing) describes what somebody or something is (it answers the question 'What kind?').
The past participles (-ed) describes how somebody feels (it answers the question 'How do you feel?').
e.g. It's a very tiring job. (What kind of job? Tiring.)
He's very tired. (How does he feel? Tired.)
Participles can also be used:
· to express time
e.g. After doing/having done her homework, she watched TV.
Having done her homework, she watched TV. (= After she had done her homework, she watched TV.)
He broke his arm (while) playing hockey. (=He broke his arm while he was playing hockey.)
· to express reason
e.g. Being late, Adam took a taxi. (=Because he was late, Adam took a taxi.)
Having spent all her money, Pam asked for a loan. (=Because she had spent all her money, Pam asked for a loan.)
· instead of a relative pronoun and full verb
e.g. The man standing at the door is my boss. (=The man who is standing at the door is my boss.)
The information presented in the article was invaluable. (=The information which was presented in the article was invaluable.)
· instead of the past simple in narratives when we describe actions happening immediately one after the other
e.g. Seeing the shadow, he screamed. (=He saw the shadow and he screamed.)
· to avoid repeating the past continuous in the same sentence
e.g. She was climbing up a ladder carrying a bucket. (=She was climbing up a ladder and she was carrying a bucket.)
