<h3>What is participial phrase?</h3>
A combination of words called a participle phrase usually includes a participle, a modifier, and a pronoun or a noun phrase. When an action is taken in a phrase, the pronoun or noun will be the recipient. If a participial phrase appears at the start of a sentence and the next phrase is a complete sentence, a comma is required after the participial phrase.
There will be a present or past participle at the start of a participle sentence. Whenever the participle is present, the sentence always ends in ing. The final letter of a regular past participle is always ed. The terrible thing is that irregular past participles can end in many different ways.
The term "present participle phrase" refers to a group of words that begin with the present participle and modify a noun in a sentence.
