Participles are sometimes confused with verbs because they are made up of:
1) verb + –ing form . This is called PRESENT PARTICIPLE and it has the function of an adjective (not a verb)
Example: The singing bird is beautiful. The word “singing” modifies the noun “bird” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The bird that sings is beautiful.”
2) Verb+ ed / past participle form. This is called PAST PARTICIPLE and it has also the function of an adjective as it provides information or qualities of a noun.
Example: The wounded dog was crying all night. The word “wounded” modifies the noun “dog” and this sentence can be rewritten as “The dog which was wounded was crying all night”

The fact that Virginia Woolf was born in England in 1882--a time when women were not as free to pursue a career, to be independent, or even to have their own privacy at times--was one of the reasons why she wrote A Room of One's Own. It discusses feminist ideas and criticizes the traditional hierarchies and the male-dominant society in which she lived in. Her essay was a result of feeling oppressed by that society.
