OpenStudy (adrianna.gongora):

The participial phrase is always used as an adjective phrase to modify a noun or pronoun. It includes the participle together with its modifiers, objects, or predicate words. The present participle form always ends in -ing, but the endings for past perfect and passive perfect participles may vary. Examples: The sobbing child held his injured knee. (Sobbing is the present participle. It modifies child .) The cascading waterfall poured down over the rocks. (Cascading is the present participle. It modifies waterfall .)
