Using participles to write descriptive sentences
In class, we've begun studying the use of participles and participle phrases to help us write more descriptive, evocative sentences. You will also need to do this as part of the Vivid Vignette assignment.
As a way to practice, I'd like you to share an example of a sentence that includes a participle or participle phrase in it. Post your sentence in the comment section. I have posted the first one in the comments as a model ...
Here are the definitions to remind you:
Participle: An -ing word tagged onto the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence
Participle phrase: An -ing phrase tagged onto the beginning, middle, or end of a sentence
If you need help writing a grammatically correct sentence, refer to the following resource page to review the notes and definitions that we have used in class. And remember, if it is a participle or participle phrase, you will need commas to set it off from the base sentence.
