which one do u think it is?

anonymous · Answer

it is not i took the same test b is still

jordanloveangel · Answer

Just a tip: generally, present-tense participles end with -ing. Remember, participles are adjectives that directly modify a noun. So in a phrase like "We need to wait for the flashing light to stop blinking." the participle would be 'flashing'.

In this case, 'flying' modifies 'machine'. It's not just a machine, it's a flying machine. What is the machine doing? Flying. It's hard to explain. Participles are kind of like verb-adjectives.
