A participial phrase is a group of words that consists of a participle, its modifiers, and any objects that complete that thought.
Participles are words derived from verbs that can function as adjectives or parts of verb phrases. There are two types of participles:
- Past participles - they usually end in -ed (for regular verbs), and less often in -en, -t, -d, and -n (irregular verbs). Example:<em> bake - baked</em>.
- Present participles - they end in -ing. Example: bake - baking.
