Step-by-step solution for: Participles Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
Let's solve the task step by step.
The worksheet asks you to fill in the present participle and past participle forms of each given verb. These are verb forms used to create participial adjectives (e.g., "an amusing story" or "a bored student").
---
1. Present Participle:
- Usually formed by adding -ing to the base verb.
- Example: *amaze → amazing*
2. Past Participle:
- For regular verbs: add -ed.
- For irregular verbs: memorize the form (e.g., *go → gone*, *see → seen*).
- Many of these verbs are regular, so we'll add -ed for past participle, but some are irregular.

Now let’s go through each verb:
| Verb | Present Participle | Past Participle |
|---------------|--------------------|------------------|
| to alarm | alarming | alarmed |
| to amaze | amazing | amazed |
| to amuse | amusing | amused |
| to bore | boring | bored |
| to comfort | comforting | comforted |
| to confuse | confusing | confused |
| to depress | depressing | depressed |
| to disappoint | disappointed | disappointed |
| to entertain | entertaining | entertained |
| to excite | exciting | excited |
| to fascinate | fascinating | fascinated |
| to horrify | horrifying | horrified |
| to inspire | inspiring | inspired |
| to move | moving | moved |
| to please | pleasing | pleased |
| to satisfy | satisfying | satisfied |
---
- All verbs listed are regular, meaning they follow standard patterns.
- Present Participle: Always ends in -ing.
- Past Participle: Ends in -ed for regular verbs.
- Some verbs like to disappoint, to please, and to satisfy may seem irregular, but their past participles are still regular: *disappointed*, *pleased*, *satisfied*.
> ⚠️ Note: "To alarm" is sometimes considered irregular in British English (e.g., “alarmed” is correct), but it follows the regular pattern here.
