Question

It's not math, but nobody is even looking at my question in the correct place, Could someone help me please? It's English.

Choose the answer that identifies the participle in the sentence.
Dozens of sweating runners surged across the finish line.

Answer 1

hint: a particle is a word that is usually a verb, but is being used as an adjective

Answer 2

start off by identifying all the nouns in the sentence

Answer 3

I'd suggest you look up words such as "participle" on the 'Net before you try to answer a question such as this one. I had to do that myself, to get a review.

https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&es_th=1&ie=UTF-8&q=participle%20English%20grammar&oq=participle%20English%20grammar&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.9109j0j7

With this info in mind, it should be fairly easy to identify the participle in question.

Answer 4

The nouns would be "runners" and "Finish line" right?
And thank you!

Answer 5

just "line" and "runners"

now, which word describes "runners"?

Answer 6

Sweating

Answer 7

good

notice how "sweating" is being used as an adjective, despite also being a verb in other uses

so sweating is your participle

Answer 8

Okay. Thank you.

Answer 9

Is a Participle phrase the same way?

Answer 10

What do you mean by "same way?"

A participle phrase would modify a noun, as Vocalloid has explained above.

When in doubt, why not look it up? Do a search for "participle phrase," and you're likely to get a bunch of examples.

Answer 11

Okay.

Answer 12

Thank you
