Question

Could you help me write sample sentences that use a participle about hockey? The sentences need a participle, past participle, and present participle.

Answer 1

Past participle: Battered by years of games, the hockey puck was covered in dents and scratches, making the material worn and fading in color.

Present Participle: The hockey players are playing another game before taking a break.

Explanation:

Past participles are verbs or verb phrases that typically end in -ed or -en (ex: looked, swollen, shattered, etc...)

Present participles are verbs or verb phrases that end in -ing (ex: looking, swelling, shattering, running, etc...)
