Present Participle
Definition
of Present Participle
Present
participle is a form of verb that uses “-ing” with the base of the word. Most
of the times, it performs the function of an adjective, though it also works as
a verb or a subject in construction. This verb form is completely regular. It
is also known as a “-ing” form, and uses the auxiliary form “be” to express a
progressive aspect of the tense.
For example, in
the sentence, “Walking through Sherwood Forest at sunset, we could feel an air
of mystery, as if the ancient trees had a story to tell, if only we could hear”
(Robin Hood’s Merry England, by Winsoar Churchill), “walking” is a verb working
as the subject of the sentence, though it is an adjective that describes the
subject “we” given in the next clause.
