Worksheet on identifying and using participles and participial phrases in English grammar.

Problem Overview:

The task involves identifying participles and participial phrases in the given sentences. A participle is a verb form that often acts as an adjective, while a participial phrase consists of a participle and any modifiers or objects associated with it.

#### Key Definitions:
1. Participle: A verb form that functions as an adjective. There are two types:
- Present participle: Ends in `-ing` (e.g., "running," "jumping").
- Past participle: Usually ends in `-ed` (e.g., "run," "jumped"), but some irregular verbs have unique forms (e.g., "gone," "been").

2. Participial Phrase: A phrase that includes a participle and any related words (modifiers, objects, etc.). It functions as an adjective to modify a noun or pronoun.

#### Instructions:
- Identify the participle(s) and participial phrase(s) in each sentence.
- Highlight the part of the sentence that the participle or participial phrase modifies.
