Question

Write a sentence containing a single-word participle used as an adjective. CAPITALIZE the participle. Then below the sentence, tell which word is modified by the participle.

Answer 1

A correct sentence should be:

The BROKEN vase was over 50 years old.

The verb modified is "vase" and BROKEN is a past participle form.

Answer 2

An example of such a sentence could be: I was BORED during our math class.

A participle is usually used as an adjective within a sentence. Participles are made from verbs - those are those forms used to make tenses such as present perfect, past perfect, etc.

The word which is modified by the participle is the subject of the sentence - the pronoun I.
