Answer:

Correct answer:

Participle : falling

Word modified: snow

Step-by-step explanation:

Participle is a kind of verb, called verbal, it works as an adjective modifying pronouns and nouns. We have two forms of participle: present participles end in -ing and past participles end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or -ne ds in -ing or -ed. The word verbal means that a participle is like any other verbs and indicates action or a state of being.

In the sentence:

Participle is falling - verb “ to fall” ending in ing

The word modified is snow, a singular noun.
