The participial phrase in this example is 'running up the stairs', and it modifies, or refers to 'he', the person who is running and glancing.

Running up the stairs, he glanced apprehensively behind him.

Participle phrase: running up the stairs.

Word modified: he.

A participle phrase will start with a present or past participle. If the participle is present, it will dependably end in ing. Likewise, a regular past participle will end in a consistent ed.

In this case the participle running is present because it ends in ing.

A participle phrase will tipically include objects and/or modifiers that complete the thought.

y now, you've probably heard that taking illicit drugs might have the unfortunate effect of frying your brain -- especially if you're familiar with the now-cliche 1980s anti-drug ad that elegantly compares drug use to egg frying with the pithy message:

"This is your brain (an egg). This is drugs (a hot frying pan). This is your brain on drugs (one fried egg). Any questions?"

When note-taking during research, what is the best answer for the items should you keep notes about?
OleMash [197]

Research can be tricky because you need to plan.  You must know what your topic is and what your stance is on that topic.  You can then create a chart that has your thesis statement in one box, and your topics in three different boxes thereby as you research, you can put the information you find in those boxes.  For example:  Let's say you are researching the effects of smoking.  Your thesis statement would say something like: Smoking is harmful for your health because it can stunt your growth, cause cancer, and cost several hundred dollars a year.  

Then as you research, you would note supporting details (facts) for how is 1. stunts your growth, 2. causes cancer, and 3. costs money.  

So....you should keep notes about your topics for your body paragraphs.
