A participle phrase will begin with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise, a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed. Irregular past participles, unfortunately, conclude in all kinds of ways [although this list will help].

    Since all phrases require two or more words, a participle phrase will often include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought. Here are some examples:

        Crunching caramel corn for the entire movie

        Washed with soap and water

        Stuck in the back of the closet behind the obsolete computer

    Participle phrases always function as adjectives, adding description to the sentence. Read these examples:

        The horse trotting up to the fence hopes that you have an apple or carrot.

        Trotting up to the fence modifies the noun horse.

        The water drained slowly in the pipe clogged with dog hair.

        Clogged with dog hair modifies the noun pipe.

        Eaten by mosquitoes, we wished that we had made hotel, not campsite, reservations.

        Eaten by mosquitoes modifies the pronoun we.

Don't mistake a present participle phrase for a gerund phrase.

    Gerund and present participle phrases are easy to confuse because they both begin with an ing word. The difference is the function that they provide in the sentence. A gerund phrase will always behave as a noun while a present participle phrase will act as an adjective. Check out these examples:

        Walking on the beach, Delores dodged jellyfish that had washed ashore.

        Walking on the beach = present participle phrase describing the noun Delores.

        Walking on the beach is painful if jellyfish have washed ashore.

        Walking on the beach = gerund phrase, the subject of the verb is.

        Waking to the buzz of the alarm clock, Freddie cursed the arrival of another Monday.

        Waking to the buzz of the alarm clock = present participle phrase describing the noun Freddie.

        Freddie hates waking to the buzz of the alarm clock.

        Waking to the buzz of the alarm clock = gerund phrase, the direct object of the verb hates.

        After a long day at school and work, LaShae found her roommate Ben eating the last of the leftover pizza.

        Eating the last of the leftover pizza = present participle phrase describing the noun Ben.

        Ben's rudest habit is eating the last of the leftover pizza.

        Eating the last of the leftover pizza = gerund phrase, the subject complement of the linking verb is.
