Description
The past participial phrase is not as frequent as its predecessor, referring, as its name implies, to the past rather than the present. But it has strength and purpose, and its relationship with the rest of the sentence is often vital to the action in a novel or the reasoning in an essay.
It's a fun challenge to the students to find ways to put past participial phrases in their writing. Thinking in terms of the Levels is often a useful approach. Also, sentences that are built upon phrases containing a form of to be (are, was, had been) plus a past participle can often be reduced just to the past participial phrase. We will see some magic when that happens, in the next lessons.
