Answer 2

Are you familiar with what a participal is in English?
There are corresponding functions in other languages.

Answer 3

Verbs that end in -ing are present participles, example: humming bird, swimming pool, etc.
and verbs that conjugate with the perfect tenses are past participles, forgotten stories, broken records etc.

Answer 4

So participial phrases serve as an adjective to describe more of an object or a person using a participle.
If you can identify a participle, you can spot participial phrases quite easily.
