b'What is participle\\n\\nIn short, A form of a verb, often ending in \\u201c-ed\\u201d or \\u201c-ing\\u201d and comes with auxiliary verbs to make verb tenses or to form adjectives. Therefore, in this article, we will learn about the non-finite verb, participle. To clarify, It is a series of a verb, where we have learned.\\n\\nWhat is a Verb?\\n\\nNon-finite verb-infinitive:\\n\\nGerund verb.\\n\\nSo, taking this series further, today we will learn about participle.\\n\\nPresent participle.\\n\\nTherefore, Putting a very precise definition to make it easy. It is a verb form 4 (-ing) that acts as an adjective. The verb form -ing also comes in other different roles. Those all roles I have already discussed in detail on verb topic. So, here we will learn about the verb form 4 (-ing). That appears as an adjective.\\n\\nFor example,\\n\\nYou should not disturb a\\xa0sleeping\\xa0cat.\\n\\nThere is an\\xa0amusing\\xa0story in this book.\\n\\nThe kettle is full of\\xa0boiling\\xa0milk.\\n\\nAbove all, the words\\xa0sleeping, amusing,\\xa0and\\xa0boiling\\xa0appeared before a noun. So, these words are saying something about a noun. These words are playing a role as an adjective. Hence it is called the present participle.\\n\\nFor example,\\n\\nThis is an\\xa0interesting\\xa0book.\\n\\nIt was a\\xa0terrifying\\xa0story.\\n\\nThe\\xa0setting\\xa0sun view was spectacular.\\n\\nThe\\xa0chattering\\xa0monkey ran away.\\n\\nThe\\xa0melting\\xa0snow made the roads slushy.\\n\\nRemarks:- If helping \\u201cbe\\u201d verb (is, am, are, was, were) comes before the verb form -ing. The -ing form identity is a continuous or main verb. If the verb form -ing comes in place of a noun (subject or object). It becomes gerund.\\n\\nPast participle.\\n\\nAs present participle -ing form appears as a gerund, continuous, and participle \\u201cadjective\\u201d. Likewise, the past participle verb form -3 comprises two structures. When it comes after helping verb, it forms perfect tense. But when it appears before a noun. It is called past participle \\u201cadjective\\u201c. So, in all the formation, we learned that the identity (parts of speech) of a word we can only decide as per the position of the words.\\n\\nFor some example, to know it the best.\\n\\nThe\\xa0injured\\xa0boy was taken to the hospital.\\n\\nThe\\xa0lost\\xa0treasure was discovered.\\n\\nThe\\xa0fallen\\xa0leaves were blown away by the storm.\\n\\nSo, here the word verb form -3\\xa0injured, lost,\\xa0and\\xa0fallen\\xa0has appeared before a noun. Meanwhile, these all words are in the role of an adjective. So these all are the past participle \\u201cadjective\\u201c.\\n\\nFor some example,\\n\\nThey are\\xa0married\\xa0couples.\\n\\nThe company is hiring\\xa0experienced\\xa0employees.\\n\\nI met with a\\xa0sad\\xa0boy.\\n\\nWe are waiting for the\\xa0predicted\\xa0weather.\\n\\nHe wears\\xa0ironed\\xa0clothes.\\n\\nPerfect participle.\\n\\nTherefore, adding the word \\u201chaving\\u201d with past participle \\u201cverb form-3\\u201d. The perfect participle is formed. So, It says about a complete action. When a person does two works, and the second work starts after completion of the first work. To form that structure we use perfect participle.\\n\\nFor some example, to know it the best.\\n\\nHaving reached\\xa0home I ate food.\\n\\nHaving finished\\xa0the report he informed his manager.\\n\\nHe took a bath Having cooked food.\\n\\nSo, the verb form -3 added with having,\\xa0having reached, having finished, and having cooked.\\xa0Thus, these all are perfect participles.\\n\\nThat is to say, after composing this participle lesson, the non-finite series is completed. Thus, in the next topic, we will learn the most significant part of the verb, finite verb.\\n\\nMust read these topics.\\n\\nNon-finite verb infinitive.\\n\\nGerund verb.\\n\\nParticiple grammar.\\n\\nModel verb.\\n\\nUse of could.\\n\\nWould.\\n\\nShould.\\n\\nMay and might.\\n\\nMust.\\n\\nUsed to.\\n\\nTransitive and intransitive verb.\\n\\nPrimary verb.\\n\\nRegular and irregular verb.\\n\\nWill and shall.\\n\\nUse of other, others, and another.'
