What is a participial phrase?

A participial phrase is a group of words that includes a participle (a verb form that functions as an adjective) and any accompanying modifiers or complements. It acts as an adjective in a sentence and provides additional information about a noun or pronoun. Participial phrases often begin with a present participle (-ing form) or a past participle (-ed, -en, -d, -t, -n form) and can be used to describe the subject, object, or any other noun or pronoun in a sentence.
