Thanks!!

[@haiderps4]

Wow, this is the most clear and informative video on this topic I've ever seen. Thank you Ashish🌷 In the example given at the beginning of the video, which was * Can you you see the tiny girl playing withthe sand? She looks adorable doing that." I think (doing that) is another participle phrase modifying the pronoun she.

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Thank you for the encouraging words, Haider! Glad you liked the lesson. 🌸 Coming to your question, yes, that's also a present participle phrase. But it's giving information about the adjective ADORABLE.

[@haiderps4]

@@EnglishWithAshish thank you Ashish🌷 Could you please tell me how it modifies the adjective ADORABLE. It just threw me off a bit.

[@EnglishWithAshish]

It is telling us more about it. In what sense or why we it is adorable. 🌸

[@subhraz]

@@haiderps4 Even I was contemplating on that. I think 'doing that' in the above sentence is a participle phrase working as adverb modifying the adjective 'adorable'. @English With Ashish : Please let me know if my understanding is correct.

[@mfarooq1981]

[@abvenn8791]

Ashish, could you tell about this sentence difference in present participle Q ) the bell ringing , they came out. Is this in adverb of present participle? Please give some clarity

[@EnglishWithAshish]

This is an absolute phrase, not a present participle phrase. The present participle is working as an adjective, modifying the noun bell.

[@aprao9163]

Sir why do use non finite verbs insted of tenses.... Can u tell sentence with same meaning in tense and phrase.... Plz sir

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Because regular nouns don't refer to actions and different tenses

[@rajeswarireddy8515]

[@RakeshKumar-if7oz]

How present participle phrases is followed by its object and/or a modifier. would you explain this type of sentences? Please sir explain present participle phrases, you will explain about object or object modifier

[@EnglishWithAshish]

A present participle can be followed by its object (if it's transitive), not a present participle phrase.

[@marchingflying3186]

Hi guy! I am curious about one of your examples of nonessential present pp. phrase. To me, the present pp. phrase of the sentence “We hid behind a wall, watching the boys rob a shop.” seems to be reduced adverb clause with conjunction “while or when” modifying the independence clause. What do you think?

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Yes, absolutely. I have mentioned in the lesson that it can modifying a complete sentence.

[@marchingflying3186]

@@EnglishWithAshish Thanks a lot. I haven’t gone through the whole presentation. Anyway, I love your lessons.

[@williamsdonkor7753]

Please, do a video about participle phrase as an adverb

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Already there on the channel.

[@jurisveratti4494]

Very useful lesson. I know the " defining / non defining ADJECTIVE CLAUSE ". I'm wondering if an ADVERBIAL PHRASE / PRESENT PARTICIPLE PHRASE could be called DEFINING / NON DEFINING (ADVERBIAL or PRESENT PARTICIPLE ) "PHRASE" instead of "CLAUSE". Is that what you meant in this video ?

[@EnglishWithAshish]

The information that we refer to essential or nonessential is basically is a modifier (adjective). Adverb phrases or clauses are useful but they can't be termed as essential or nonessential. And yes, those are phrases, not clauses.

[@OFAnandita]

Sir I have one confusion... There is a big confusion by taking gerund and participle.. I know gerund is used as noun..and present participle is used as adjective.. Nobody likes to talk with the man sitting on the rock alone.. My question is here sitting on the rock alone ..it is a participle phrase modifies as noun.. Why can't we say gerund phrase here is verb + ing Please rply me..

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Is it working as a noun there? No, right? So why would you call it a gerund phrase! It's a present participle phrase.

[@OFAnandita]

@@EnglishWithAshish yess sir I understood.. Let's take a example The girl selling vegetables is my sister.. Selling vegetables is a phrase..it may get confused it is gerund ya participle phrase?it's simple selling vegetables is a adjective phrase and we have read adjective phrase works as participle phrase..👍👍

Sir could please these these two sentences 1 At night i fell asleep hearing the grunting of the hippos . 2 i have also added a few comments describing my own experiences.. In the first examples why hearing word is used with ing ? And last one why the describing is used with ing ? Is it present participe ? comments which describe ?

[@hadivazifehdan5596]

Hi dude. This might be late but these are the answers: So the first sentence contains a present participle phrase, which is actually a reduced adverb clauses. It's giving us the reason why you fell asleep at that night, or it can also mean that while you were hearing the grunting of the hippos, you fell asleep. So in the first meaning, your sleep is caused by those animals, but in the second one, it's just telling us that two actions happen at the same time. If you wish to make it have just one meaning, use while to be more specific, that way it only means two actions happened at the same time ( in this case ). Keep that in mind that while can also show contrast in some cases. For your second sentence, it's a reduced adjective clause.
