Participles worksheet with exercises to identify participles in sentences.

Task: Underline the participle in each sentence.

#### Explanation:
A participle is a verb form that functions as an adjective. There are two types of participles:
1. Present participle: Ends in "-ing" (e.g., "running," "jumping").
2. Past participle: Usually ends in "-ed" (e.g., "driven," "frightened") or can be irregular (e.g., "seen," "gone").
