Mehek (mehek14):

which one do you think?

OpenStudy (is3535):

a participle is a form of verb that modifies the noun. in this case sleeping is the present participle as it modifies the cat so ill say D

Mehek (mehek14):

the noun is the dog in the beginning

Mehek (mehek14):

and the verb that modifies it would be restless

OpenStudy (is3535):

i dont think so ill say d

Mehek (mehek14):

alright then

Mehek (mehek14):
