Participle exercises with answers - Set 1


Participle is a word formed from a verb (for example going, gone, being, been) and used as an adjective (for example working woman, burnt toast) or a noun (for example good breeding). In English language participles are also used to make compound verb forms (e.g. is going, has been). [Via]

Present participle is formed by adding ing to the base form of a verb. If the verb ends with the letter g, l, m, n, p or t (with a short vowel sound before it), this letter is doubled, for example: dig - digging, swim - swimming etc.
If the verb ends with the letter e, this letter is dropped, for example come - coming, have - having etc.
If the verb ends with the letters ie, these letters are changed to y, for example die - dying, tie - tying etc. [Source: English Grammar And Exercises 3, Book 4 by Chapman L.R.H.]
