Definition Present Participle
A
present participle is the –ing form of
the verb (talking, inviting, cooperating). In structure question on the TOEFL
can cause confusion because it can be either a part of a verb or an adjective.
A present participle is part of the
verb when if is preceded by the verb be (is,
am, are, was, wew).
Present participle is a form of verb that uses “-ing” with the
base of the word. Most of the times, it performs the function of an adjective, though it also works as a verb or a subject in construction. This verb
form is completely regular. It is also known as a “-ing” form, and uses the
auxiliary form “be” to express a progressive aspect of the tense.
Example : “...Standing
In the shoes of indecision, I hear them
Come up behind me and go on ahead of me
Wearing boots, on crutches,
barefoot, they could never
Get together on any door-still or
destination----“
There are two present participles in this example. The first one is
“standing” that describes its respective nouns, and the second present participle
is “wearing” that tells about the boots.

+ object + present participle. There is a difference in meaning when
such a sentence contains a zero infinitive rather than a participle. The
infinitive refers to a complete action while the present participle refers to
an ongoing action.
- I heard someone singing.
- He saw his friend walking along the road.
- I can smell something burning.
- I watched the birds flying away.
