The key takeaways are about different types of participles - present, past and perfect participles and how they are formed and used.

The present participle ends in -ing and is used to form continuous tenses and can be used as an adjective. The past participle indicates past or completed action and is often formed by adding -ed or -d and is used to form perfect tenses and the passive voice.

Present participles can be used in continuous verb phrases like 'am learning' and as adjectives like 'a working woman'. Past participles can be used in perfect verb phrases like 'have learnt' and to form the passive voice like 'was brushed' and as adjectives like 'a broken arm'.

What is the present participle?


The present participle is a participle that ends in ing. It can be used with the auxilliary verb 'to
be' to form the continuous tense. It always takes the ing form of the verb, even irregular verbs
have an ...ing form, in fact virtually all English words that end with ing are present participles.
For example:I am learning English. (Learning is part of the continuous verb phrase 'am learning')
We were running through the woods. (Running is part of the continuous verb phrase 'were
running' ).
It can also be used as an adjective.
For example:As an adjective: I am a working woman. (Working is used here as an adjective.)

!Note :The present participle can also be used as a noun denoting the action of a verb a gerund. But
remember the present participle can be used as a verb or an adjective whilst the gerund is used
as a noun.

What is a past participle?

A past participle indicates past or completed action or time. It is often called the 'ed' form as it is
formed by adding d or ed, to the base form of regular verbs, however it is also formed in various
other ways for irregular verbs.
It can be used to form a verb phrase as part of the present perfect tense.
For example:I have learnt English. (Learnt is part of the verb phrase 'have learnt')
It can be used to form the passive voice.
For example:Her hair was well brushed.
It can also be used as an adjective.
For example:As an adjective: He had a broken arm. (Broken is used here as an adjective.)

What's the difference between OTHER, OTHERS and ANOTHER?

This is a very common and frequent question


among pre-intermediate ESL students. Every now
and then I am asked about the difference
between "other", "others" and "another". So
we are going to see one at a time, thus maybe
we can avoid its misuse.
The first one is "other which means other
person or thing. This word is generally
accompanied by the word "the". Take a look at
those examples:

I have two pencils. One is black, andthe


other is blue.
The other car cost much less.
Where are the other boys?
The other people are waiting for the same
thing.
Add the flour and the other ingredients.
Its not a rule, because sometimes "other" can
appear alone in the sentence or preceded by
words like "some", "any", "my", "your", "his",
etc., or also a number:
I have no other hat.
None of her other friends came.
Camila has three other children.
Many other people have said the same.
They gazed into each other's eyes.
Do you have any other questions?

The word "others" is used to avoid repetion of


words in one sentence. The use of "the" is
optional.
Some people like to rest in their free
time. Others like to travel.
One boy fell off his chair and
the otherslaughed.
This is not the only answer to the question.
There are others.
It is relevant to mention that we can use the
expression "the others" with the same meaning
as "the other people" or "the other things":
There were three books on my table. One is
here. Where are the others?
Katarina and Andrew are bringing some food,
but the others aren't.
Last, but not least, the word "another" which
means one more. If you observe it closely It is
exactly the same thing as "an other" written
together. By the way, both are written together
- another since th 16thcentury. We use
"another" when we want to refer to something
which was mentioned before in a sentence.
This cake is delicious! Can I have another slice,
please?
Please give me another chance.

He was a wonderful teacher. Everyone agreed it


would be hard to find another like him.
I hope I could clarify the doubts.
As a last tip: Try to observe the words in context,
so then you will notice the difference between
them. Observe the examples. They always help
to understand the use of the words.

PRESENT PARTICIPLE
The present participle of most verbs has the form

base+ing. It is used in many different ways.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE AS PART OF THE CONTINUOUS FORM OF A VERB

EXAMPLES

I am working.

He was singing.

They have been walking.

We will be staying.

She would have been expecting me.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE AFTER VERBS OF MOVEMENT & POSITION


This construction is particularly useful with the verb to go.

EXAMPLES

She went shopping.

I go running every morning.

He lay looking up at the clouds.

She came running towards me.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE AFTER VERBS OF PERCEPTION


The pattern for this usage is verb + 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.

EXAMPLES

I heard someone singing.

He saw his friend walking along the road.

I can smell something burning!

I watched the birds flying away.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE AS AN ADJECTIVE

EXAMPLES

It was an amazing film.

Dark billowing clouds often precede a storm.

He was trapped inside the burning house.

Many of his paintings show the setting sun.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE WITH THE VERBS SPEND AND WASTE


The pattern with these verbs is verb

+ time/money expression + present participle.

EXAMPLES

My boss spends two hours a day travelling to work.

Don't waste time playing computer games!

They've spent the whole day shopping.

I wasted money buying this game.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE WITH THE VERBS CATCH AND FIND


The pattern with these verbs is verb + object + present participle. With catch, the participle
always refers to an action which causes annoyance or anger. This is not the case with find, which is
unemotional.

EXAMPLES

If I catch you stealing my apples again, there'll be trouble!

Don't let him catch you reading his letters.

I caught him going through my bag.

We found some money lying on the ground.

They found their mother sitting in the garden.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE FOR TWO ACTIONS AT THE SAME TIME


When two actions occur at the same time, and are done by the same person or thing, we can use a
present participle to describe one of them. When one action follows very quickly after another done by
the same person or thing, we can express the first action with a present participle.

EXAMPLES

Whistling to himself, he walked down the road. = He whistled to himself as he walked down
the road.

They went laughing out into the snow. = They laughed as they went out into the snow.

Dropping the gun, she put her hands in the air. = She dropped the gun and put her hands in
the air.

Putting on his coat, he left the house. = He put on his coat and left the house.

THE PRESENT PARTICIPLE TO EXPLAIN A REASON


The present participle can be used instead of a phrase starting with as, since, or because. In this
usage the participial phrase explains the cause or reason for an action.

EXAMPLES

Feeling hungry, he went into the kitchen and opened the fridge.

Being poor, he didn't spend much on clothes.

Knowing that his mother was coming, he cleaned the flat.

He whispered, thinking his brother was still asleep.

Do Not Confuse Present Participles with Gerunds


Present participles should not be confused with gerunds,which are nounsformed from
verbs. Gerunds also end -ing. For example:

I stopped believing in Santa Claus when my mother took me to see him in a


department store, and he asked for my autograph. (Shirley Temple)
(This is a gerund not a present participle.)

Commonly Misused Words and Phrases


*Why should you bother to read this handout?
The transition from spoken to written language can often be a bumpy one because the way we talk tends to be a lot
less formal than the way we write. When we try to translate spoken ideas into writing, it is often hard to remember
correct grammar. Also, we hear incorrect grammar used so often that correct grammar might sound odd or
even wrong to us.
Homonyms can present an especially difficult problem because they sound alike, but the different spellings mean
different things. Changing one letter in a word could alter the whole meaning of a sentence. Common phrases are
also likely to be written incorrectly because in speech words are often shortened or slurred together so that not all of
the letters are pronounced, making it easy to inadvertently leave these letters out when writing.
Knowing which word to use or how to write a phrase correctly can make a big difference in your writing. It is easier
for readers to take a piece of writing more seriously when the grammar is correct. This handout contains a list of
commonly confused homonyms and problem phrases, as well as a few hints to help you remember the grammar
rules.
Words that sound alike (homonyms):
We have selected the ones we see in the Writing Center most often. For a complete list of homonyms you may click
here.
Accept, Except:

Accept is a verb meaning to receive. Except is usually a preposition meaning excluding. I will accept all the
packages except that one. Except is also a verb meaning to exclude. Please except that item from the list.
Affect, Effect:
Affect is usually a verb meaning to influence. Effect is usually a noun meaning result. The drug did not affect the
disease, and it had several adverse side effects.Effect can also be a verb meaning to bring about. Only the president
can effect such a dramatic change.
Allusion, Illusion:
An Allusion is an indirect reference. An illusion is a misconception or false impression. Did you catch my allusion to
Shakespeare? Mirrors give the room an illusion of depth.
Capital, Capitol:
Capital refers to a city, capitol to a building where lawmakers meet. Capital also refers to wealth or
resources. The capitol has undergone extensive renovations. The residents of the state capital protested the
development plans.
Climactic, Climatic:
Climactic is derived from climax, the point of greatest intensity in a series or progression of events. Climatic is
derived from climate; it refers to meteorological conditions. The climactic period in the dinosaurs' reign was reached
just before severe climatic conditions brought on the ice age.
Elicit, Illicit:

Elicit is a verb meaning to bring out or to evoke. Illicit is an adjective meaning unlawful. The reporter was unable
to elicit information from the police about illicit drug traffic.
Emigrate from, Immigrate to:
Emigrate means to leave one country or region to settle in another. In 1900, my grandfather emigrated from
Russia. Immigrate means to enter another country and reside there. Many Mexicans immigrate to the U.S. to find
work.
Hints:
Emigrate begins with the letter E, as does Exit. When you emigrate, you exit a country.
Immigrate begins with the letter I, as does In. When you immigrate, you go into a country
Principle, Principal:
Principal is a noun meaning the head of a school or an organization or a sum of money. Principle is a noun meaning
a basic truth or law. The principal taught us many important life principles.
Hint:
To recognize the spelling of Principal first think of yourself as a greedy opportunist. You definitely would want to be a
pal of anyone who is in a position of power or anything to do with money. This principal has pal in it.
Than, Then:

Than is a conjunction used in comparisons; then is an adverb denoting time. That pizza is more than I can eat. Tom
laughed, and then we recognized him.
Hints:
Than is used to compare; both words have the letter a in them.
Then tells when; both are spelled the same, except for the first letter.
There, Their, They're:
There is an adverb specifying place; it is also an expletive. Adverb: Sylvia is lying there unconscious.
Expletive: There are two plums left. Their is a possessive pronoun. They're is a contraction of they are. Fred and
Jane finally washed their car. They're later than usual today.
Hints:
If you are using there to tell the reader where, both words have h-e-r-e. Here is also a place.
If you are using their as a possessive pronoun, you are telling the reader what
"they own. Their has h-e-i-r, which also means heir, as in someone who inherits something. Both words have to do
with ownership.
They're is a contraction of they are. Sound out they are in the sentence and see if it works. If it does not, it must be
one of the previous versions.
To, Too, Two:

To is a preposition; too is an adverb; two is a number. Too many of your shots slice to the left, but the last two were
right on the mark.
Hints:
If you are trying to spell out the number, it is always t-w-o. Two has a w which is the first letter in word. The opposite
of word is number.
Too is usually used as also when adding or including some additional information. Whenever you want to include
something else, think of it as adding; therefore you
also need to add an extra o.
Your, You're:
Your is a possessive pronoun; you're is a contraction of you are. You're going to catch a cold if you don't
wear your coat.
Hints:
Sound out you are in the sentence. If it works in the sentence it can be written as
you're. If it sounds awkward, it is probably supposed to be Your.
EXAMPLE: You're shoes are muddy. "You are shoes are muddy" does not work, so
it should be written as: Your shoes are muddy.
Words that don't sound alike but confuse us anyway:

Lie, Lay:
Lie is an intransitive verb meaning to recline or rest on a surface. Its principal parts are lie, lay, lain. Lay is a transitive
verb meaning to put or place. Its principal parts are lay, laid.
Hint: Chickens lay eggs. I lie down when I am tired.
Set, Sit:
Set is a transitive verb meaning to put or to place. Its principal parts are set, set, set. Sit is an intransitive verb
meaning to be seated. Its principal parts are sit, sat, sat. She set the dough in a warm corner of the kitchen. The
cat sat in the warmest part of the room.
Who, Which, That:
Do not use which to refer to persons. Use who instead. That, though generally used to refer to things, may be used
to refer to a group or class of people. I just saw a boy who was wearing a yellow banana costume. I have to go to
math next, which is my hardest class. Where is the book that I was reading?
Problem phrases:
Supposed to: Do not omit the d. Suppose to is incorrect.
Used to: Same as above. Do not write use to.
Toward: There is no s at the end of the word.

Anyway: Also has no ending s. Anyways is nonstandard.


Couldn't care less: Be sure to make it negative. (Not I could care less.)
All walks of life: Not woks of life. This phrase does not apply to oriental cooking.
Chest of drawers: Not chester drawers.
For all intents and purposes: Not intensive purposes.
