Grammar Rules Questions
Participial phrases are phrases that include a participle (a verb form that functions as an adjective) and any accompanying modifiers or complements. These phrases are used to provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in a sentence. Participial phrases can be used to describe the subject of a sentence, the object of a verb, or the object of a preposition. They often begin with a present participle (-ing form) or a past participle (-ed or irregular form). For example, in the sentence "The girl, wearing a red dress, walked to the park," the participial phrase "wearing a red dress" describes the girl.
