Present participles
Participles are words that were originally a verb, but that have been converted into an adjective. Present participles are used as adjectives that describe what is happening now or currently. Say we have the verb ‘run’. Most present participles can be formed by adding ‘ing’ to the end of the verb. So the verb ‘run’ becomes the present participle ‘running’.
