Question

Which sentence includes a participial phrase?

(A)I go jogging every morning.
(B)The person talking to the teacher is my dad.
(C)The approaching car flashed its bright lights.
(D)I would like to go to the new oceanside restaurant.

Answer 1

C. The approaching car flashed its bright lights.

a participial phrase is a way to combine 2 ideas and include a gerund (a word ending in -ing) so basically if this sentence didnt have a participial phrase it would sound like:

the car approached and flashed its bright lights.
