Explain the concept of participial modifiers.

Participial modifiers are phrases that consist of a participle (a verb form ending in -ing or -ed) and any accompanying words. They function as adjectives, modifying nouns or pronouns in a sentence. Participial modifiers provide additional information about the noun or pronoun they modify, adding descriptive details or clarifying the subject. They can be placed at the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence, and should be placed close to the noun or pronoun they modify to avoid confusion.
