4. Review: Suffixes –ing, -ed• The present participle is formed by adding -ing to a

verb.– Example:

• Break + -ing = breaking• Throw + -ing = throwing

• The past participle of many verbs is formed by adding –ed to a form of the verb.– Example:

• Paint + -ed = painted• Report + -ed = reported

• Both past and present participles can describe nouns; that is, then can function as adjectives– Example: a bouncing ball, his throwing arm, a painted house, a

reported event
