will medal. Which sentence uses the past participle form of the verb catch? A. Preston was catching a huge bass at the lake. B. Preston had caught a huge bass at the lake. C. Preston caught a huge bass at the lake. D. Preston had catch a huge bass at the lake.
Have a guess? ^0^
no
Well, first off, what do we know already about past participles? :3
that they are the form of a verb, typically ending in -ed in English, that is used in forming perfect and passive tenses and sometimes as an adjective, e.g., looked in have you looked? and lost in lost property.
Did you use that from Google..? .-.
no
@BlazingBlitz any thoughts
Alright, so, we can use the process of elimination to help us out. The question asks us to find the PAST participle, so we can immediately eliminate catch since we are finding the past participle of catch.
I'm guessing C
And, we can also eliminate choice A since it just sounds strange.
So we are left with B and C, BUT we can eliminate B because we can easily eliminate 'had' and it wouldn't make any huge difference towards the sentence plus it sounds incorrect when you read the word aloud. So, we are left with our correct answer as C :3
Understand or do I need to explain it better? :3
I been said C and i understand really well you taught me a lesson no direct answers from here on out and i will try to help people with their questions and not give direct answers thank you @Angiedoesschool2275
