Semicolon - ;

Is used when you need to piece two sentences together but using a comma wouldn't fit or be appropriate for the sentence. As follows:

"I have to study for finals tonight; I can't go out."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Colon -  :

Is used for "As follows" ect.

Example: <-- (That)

Primary colors:   <-- (That)

Red

Blue

Yellow


Good luck!

1. Recall that a participle is a verb form that is used as an adjective. A participial phrase is a participle with its modifiers
Delicious77 [7]

1. flying

As the directions state, a participle is a verb. Both flying and headed are verbs. However, headed is used as an action verb in the sentence. It is what the geese are doing. Flying is an adjective describing the geese as "flying by". You should be able to cross out the participial phrase and the sentence will still make sense as in "The geese are headed south for the winter."

2. B. Clapping wildly.

Clapping wildly is the participial phrase. It describes the audience. Option C contains the main verb of the sentence "shouted" so this is not a participial phrase. Option D has an infinitive "to come".

3. cat

The participial phrase in the sentence is "hearing the footsteps of its owner". The cat is what hears the footsteps.
