Hello everyone! I have a very big problem. I can’t understand participles. I can’t imagine it.
I have read about participles many times. And I know that it is used for creating verb tenses, passive voice. But I am not talking about it. I know it sounds very strange.
If I add -ing or -ed to the verb it becomes Present (-ing) or Past (-ed) Participle.
Jump Jumping Jumped
Stand Standing Stood (irregular verb)
Talk Talking Talked
Colour Colouring Coloured etc.
If somebody says: Do you see the big black cat? or Do you like this small town? Have you already read the new book? or I have seen the very old building in England etc. I can image all these things in my head.
But if somebody says: Do you know jumping man? Or Do you see talking woman? or Give the book lying on the table etc. I don’t understand what it means.
I understand each verb separately (jump, talk, lie etc.) but not participles.
