OpenStudy (anonymous):

B..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

m sure its b

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Correct.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

uh, b is not correct. invited is the verb in past tense...try your other answer!! ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its b because its say he did

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

so a participle is a word formed from a verb which can be used as an adjective. So in this sentence, Mr. Kinney, my tennis coach, invited the team to a swimming party and barbeque at his house. swimming is the verb that is used as an adjective to modify the noun party.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they didnt go swimming yet

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

That isn't the point...the point is that the verb Swimming is a participle because it is being used to modify the noun party
