Answer:
The sentence that includes the use of a participle is the following one: The crying baby wanted a bottle.
Explanation:
A participle is formed from a verb but modifies a noun, noun phrase, verb, or phrase. It functions as an adjective and can either end in -ed (past participle) or -ing (present participle). In this case, the sentence contains a participle derived from the verb "cry" which modifies the noun "baby".
Present participles are formed from the infinitive of a verb. Adding -ing to the infinitive form creates the present participle.
The false one is A. Interjections are essential to the meaning of the sentence.
The word is shows that he is currently happy. It shows that the adjective describing him is present tense.
The sentence where the predicate nominative is correct is D) The best surfers and Mike and she.
Just invert the sentence and you'll know which ones are correct.
She and Mike are the best surfers.
