Q

“The crying baby finally went to sleep.” What type of Verbal was used in the sentence?

A

PARTICIPLE

Explaination:
In the sentence “crying” was used as an adjective because it describes how the baby acted before it went to sleep.

The “baby” is the subject because it is the doer of the action. The baby cried then eventually went to sleep.

“Went” is the verb because it is the action done by the baby

Q

“The printed documents were placed on the table.” What type of verbal was used in the sentence?

A

PARTICIPLE

Explaination:
“Printed” describes the documents in the sentence because if we just say documents then the reader won’t know which/what type it will be.

“Documents” is the subject because it’s placed right next to the adjective. To quickly notice if it’s a participle is to check the subject and what kind of function is right before it.

“Were placed” is the verb because it is where the subject is acted upon.
