Answer:
1: Anne kept scribbling notes in her WRITING journal.
2: Good WRITING takes a lot of practice, and a lot of editing
Explanation:
Participle is word formed from a verb and used as adjective or noun.
For example
A): In "<em>injured soldier"</em> we have an adjective <em>injured</em>, the word <em>injured</em> came from verb <em>injure</em>; hence it is a participle. However the phrase injured soldier as a whole is a noun.
B): in "<em>good cooking"</em>, <em>cooking</em> is a noun made from a verb <em>cook</em>; hence cooking is a participle.
1: In this sentence “Anne kept scribbling notes in her WRITING journal”, <em>writing</em> is a participle as it made from verb “write” and used as adjective.
2: In the sentence “Good WRITING takes a lot of practice, and a lot of editing” <em>writing</em> is participle as it is made from a verb “write” and used as a noun.
3: In “Tonight, I am going to WRITE a letter to my brother who is in the army” <em>write</em> is verb (not a noun or adjective) and hence it is not a participle.
4: In “Sadie WRITES letters to her brother every week” <em>write</em> is verb (not a noun or adjective) and hence it is not a participle.
