<u>Answer:</u>
The answer is option ‘A’. The sentence 'be careful not to wake the sleeping baby' has a participle in it.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the participle phrase 'sleeping baby’, 'sleeping' is the participle formed from the verb ‘sleep’ and acting as an adjective describing the baby. A participle is a word formed from a verb and acts as an adjective.
There are three kinds of participle:
Present participle formed by adding –ing to the verb. For example, the laughing girl , smiling child, etc,
Past participle is formed by adding –ed , -en , -d , -t or -n. It is third form of the verb. For example, colored castle, Sunken face, etc,
Perfect participles are formed by joining ‘having’ with ‘past participle’. For example, having said
, having stated, etc,
She is so beautiful, loving, kind, her hair shimmers like stars in the moonlight, her eyes are like tiny suns, her laugh is like a bubbling stream, her figure is more beautiful than Aphrodite. She is his Goddess, his savior, his light. He devotes all his time to making her feel happy.
