Step-by-step solution for: Participles Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
To solve this worksheet, we need to find two participle forms for each verb listed. Participles are verb forms that act like adjectives or help make verb tenses.
Here is the step-by-step breakdown for each verb:
1. to fall: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": falling.
* The past participle changes the vowel sound: fallen.
2. to burn: This verb can be regular or irregular.
* The present participle adds "-ing": burning.
* The past participle is often burnt (irregular) or burned (regular). Both are correct, but "burnt" is very common in these exercises. Let's list both possibilities or the most standard one. Usually, worksheets accept burnt or burned.
3. to identify: This is a regular verb ending in 'y'.
* The present participle adds "-ing": identifying.
* The past participle adds "-ed": identified.
4. to grow: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": growing.
* The past participle changes completely: grown.
5. to wear: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": wearing.
* The past participle changes the vowel: worn.
6. to be: This is the most irregular verb in English.
* The present participle is: being.
* The past participle is: been.
7. to become: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": becoming.
* The past participle is the same as the base form: become.
8. to belong: This is a regular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": belonging.
* The past participle adds "-ed": belonged.
9. to beat: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": beating.
* The past participle is the same as the base form: beaten. *Correction*: Wait, "beat" is tricky. Base: beat. Past Simple: beat. Past Participle: beaten. Present Participle: beating.
10. to break: This is an irregular verb.
* The present participle adds "-ing": breaking.
* The past participle changes the vowel: broken.
Let's double-check #9 (to beat).
* Present Participle: beating (e.g., He is beating the drum.)
* Past Participle: beaten (e.g., The team has beaten the record.)
Yes, that is correct.
Let's double-check #7 (to become).
* Present Participle: becoming (e.g., It is becoming cold.)
* Past Participle: become (e.g., She has become a doctor.)
Yes, that is correct.
Let's double-check #2 (to burn).
* Present Participle: burning.
* Past Participle: burnt / burned. Both are widely accepted. I will provide "burnt/burned" to be safe, or just pick the most common irregular form if the worksheet implies irregulars (like fall/fallen). Given "fall/fallen", "burn/burnt" fits the pattern of irregulars better, but "burned" is also a valid participle. I'll list "burnt" as the primary irregular one, but note that "burned" works too. Actually, looking at the other verbs (identify, belong), they are mixed. I will provide the standard forms.
Final List:
1. falling, fallen
2. burning, burnt (or burned)
3. identifying, identified
4. growing, grown
5. wearing, worn
6. being, been
7. becoming, become
8. belonging, belonged
9. beating, beaten
10. breaking, broken
Final Answer:
1. falling, fallen
2. burning, burnt (or burned)
3. identifying, identified
4. growing, grown
5. wearing, worn
6. being, been
7. becoming, become
8. belonging, belonged
9. beating, beaten
10. breaking, broken
