Participles are a type of non-finite verbs (verbals). Others are the infinitive and the gerund.

The Present Participle

By the end of this page you will have a deeper knowledge of the various functions of this particular non-finite verb. I have made an effort to make the explanation both simple and clear...and remember that you don't have to master all the functions in one sitting.

  • Page 1 explains its formation
