Which word in the sentence is the participle? Do you know whether the misplaced keys have been located? A. keys B. located C. do D. misplaced

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you think it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

d

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So the participle ends in -ed or -ing and modifies a noun right, so what noun is being modified by a word ending in ed or ing?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Once you find the noun you will be able to determine the Participle in front of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

No Located is part of the complete verb - have been located

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Keys is a noun right?

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

What type of word is directly in front of the word keys?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A is the noun

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i said d at first

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So it is D. right? Misplaced is the participle ending in -ed and comes right before the noun Keys

OpenStudy (conqueror):

Participles are adjectives.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Oh I didn't see that...I am sorry you are correct D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@confluxepic what are adjectives i kinda forgot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Conqueror ***

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

Adjectives are words that describe or modify another person or thing in the sentence. The Articles — a, an, and the — are adjectives. If a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adjective, it is called an Adjective Clause.

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

So adjectives tell more about nouns

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Got it @Tjbrew

OpenStudy (tjbrew):

@TheAsker2002 ok
