Answer:

The present participle is "winning." It is used as an adjective to describe the "team."

Explanation:

A "present participle" is being used in order to express an action that is present. This uses the<em> -ing form of the verb</em> in order to show that an action is happening at the moment. It can be used as an <em>adjective</em>. For example:

  • A<em> crying</em> boy.
  • The <em>bouncing</em> ball.

So, in the example sentence above (The winning team received a trophy after the game), the present participle is "winning." This modifies the word "team."

Remember that compared to past participles, a present participle is often active while a past participle is often passive.
