10. Review: Participles
The present participle is formed by adding -ing to a form of the verb
Examples:
choose + -ing = choosing
look + -ing = looking

11. Review: Participles
The past participle of regular verbs is formed by adding –ed to a form of the verb.
Some past participles are irregular and their forms must be memorized.
Examples:
began = (have) begun
went = (have) gone
gave = (have) given

12. In a verb phrase, the present participle is completed with a form of the helping verb be (am, is, are), and the past participle is completed with a form of the helping verb have (have, has, had). Examples: is arguing, was gluing (form of be + present participle) When used as adjectives, present and past participles usually come before a noun. Examples: a moving car, a mistaken identity

13. Clauses can also function as adverbs
Clauses can also function as adverbs. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a predicate. An adverbial clause answers the question How? When? Where? Why? Or Under what condition? It expands the predicate part of the sentence.

14. Review: Adverbial Clauses
Adverbs describe verbs.
Adverbs answer the questions “how,” “when,” “where,” “why,” and “under what condition?”
Most adverbs are single words: daily and suddenly are adverbs.
Prepositional phrases can function as adverbs. To Mango Street and after dark are prepositional phrases that can function as adverbs.

16. Sample Response:
Because their old house was in need of repairs, Esperanza’s family had chosen a new place to live. Esperanza had taken a quick look when they had gone to inspect it. She was not happy because she wanted a bigger house where visitors could stay. She has to live there for now. One day when she is older, she will move to the place of her dreams.
