Which word in the sentence is the participle? Thomas Edison, another great inventor, created a talking doll in 1890. A. talking B. created C. inventor D. great

its not a or c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Not B. Created is the verb again!!

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

@Tjbrew Occording to YOUR logic, it would be "talking," wouldn't it?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Or am I thinking about someone else?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I don't know anymore, but I learned somewhere that a participial is also an adjective.

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

And in this sentence, talking is the adjective/participial.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

@KyanTheDoodle It isn't my logic it is grammar, and yes the answer is talking!!

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Hehe! Perfect!

OpenStudy (tjbrew):
