Question 4 • English Language Arts 10
A participial phrase begins with a present or past participle and describes a noun. “Tired from practice” describes the quarterback, and “moving on to the state tournament” describes what the volleyball team did after winning, so both are participial phrases. “Succeeding at tennis” and “Spending too much time…” function as nouns, while “To score a goal…” is an infinitive phrase.
