2. Presentation of the Lesson

Highlighting the Form
What do you call the verbs that are
used to describe the following pictures?
What is a participle?
What are the forms of a participle?
How do we write participles?

______ice (crack)
Cracking

_____screen(crack)
cracked

These are called Participles.

A participle is a form of verb that can
act as an adjective.
When do we use present participles?
How about past participles?

Participles fall into two groups: present

participles and past participles. You can
identify these two different types of participles
by their endings.
Present participles end in ing. Past
participles generally end in ed but may also
have irregular endings such as t and en.

How can we distinguish if its a verb or

a participle?

Present Participle (-ing) is used to

describe something or someone.
Ex. The interesting show is worth to watch.

Tell whether the given example is a

past or a present participle.

Past Participle (-ed) is used to describe

how someone feels or what happen to

something.
Ex. Interested, Jack watched the show.
