hi, My english professor, distined to make us great speakers in the future, is teaching us about present and past participle sentences. He says, writing in these two types of sentences along with other clauses and modifiers that we are learning, will make you sound very intellegent if you use them in formal writings, essays and other formal speeches. So, there you have it. i will provide some examples and i gaurantee you will learn it in no time..

►Past participle phrase=Cyan

Sam is like a lion on the football field, feared by the defensive line.

Humans need love, nourished and encouraged by the affection and charity of their fellow travelers to the grave.

We are pilgrims in this life, called from fairyland to struggle through dark ways.

 

►Present participle phrase=LIGHT GREEN

Sam, throwing the football to his friend, seems to be enjoying the lovely day.

The stars, flaming in the deep heavens, fill Mankind with wonder; and as humans grow, searching for love, truth, and beauty, they must never lose sight of these “ever fixed” marks that “look on tempests and are never shaken.”

Horatio catches sight of King Hamlet’s ghost, wondering that such things should be.

Hi
Sorry, but your colours do not seem to show in your post.

Your English profesor sounds like he has good ideas, so be careful to listen to him.


In Horatio catches sight of King Hamlet’s ghost, wondering that such things should be, in terms of grammar do you think it is Horatio or the ghost who is doing the wondering?

Best wishes, Clive (:)) Smile
