Present Participle

Definition Present Participle

A present participle is the –ing form of the verb (talking, inviting, cooperating). In structure question on the TOEFL can cause confusion because it can be either a part of a verb or an adjective.

            A present participle is part of the verb when if is preceded by the verb be (is, am, are, was, wew).

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.

Example : “...Standing

                  In the shoes of indecision, I hear them

                  Come up behind me and go on ahead of me

                  Wearing boots, on crutches, barefoot, they could never

                  Get together on any door-still or destination----“

There are two present participles in this example. The first one is “standing” that describes its respective nouns, and the second present participle is “wearing” that tells about the boots.

2. He saw his friend walking along the road.
3. I can smell something burning.
4. I watched the birds flying away.
