Participle Power

Worksheet Description

In the first part of this worksheet, students are asked to underline the participle in each sentence. A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective, usually ending in -ed, -en, -d, -t, or -ing. By identifying and underlining the participles, students will develop their ability to recognize these versatile verb forms in sentences.

The second part of the worksheet focuses on participial phrases. Students are instructed to underline the participial phrase in each sentence. A participial phrase is a group of words containing a participle and its modifiers. By highlighting the participial phrases, students will strengthen their understanding of how these phrases add descriptive details to sentences.

Through this exercise, students will not only practice identifying participles and participial phrases but also gain a deeper understanding of how these elements contribute to sentence structure and enhance writing.
