Here are the examples:
1. Peel off the skin using a small knife.
2. Name two countries that signed the Kyoto Protocol using the list of countries given to you.
I believe both sentences have a participal phrase, and there is no comma necessary because the information is vital.
My questions:
1. What is the participle phrase actually modifying? The entire sentence? or just the verb?
2. Does the phrase function as an adjective?
3. Do all participle phrases practically follow the following construction?:
Pronoun + be + verb?
A link on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I just realized that I misspelled "participle" in the title. Ignore that.
