Casey Hunt · Answer 1

The sentence that includes the use of a participle is the following one: The crying baby wanted a bottle.

Explanation:

A participle is formed from a verb but modifies a noun, noun phrase, verb, or phrase. It functions as an adjective and can either end in - ed (past participle) or - ing (present participle). In this case, the sentence contains a participle derived from the verb "cry" which modifies the noun "baby".

Present participles are formed from the infinitive of a verb. Adding - ing to the infinitive form creates the present participle.
