Example sentences for: participial
How can you use “participial” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
I do not agree that the relative brevity of many Russian proverbs stems from the fact that the Russian language has no articles and also resorts idiomatically to participial condensation by not using oblique forms of the verb to be.
The two objections I see with this would-be super-short supersentence are, first, the highly elliptical and not terribly idiomatic omission of any overt identification of the clausal status of the word painful , and second, the analysis of the thoroughly idiomatic three-word phrase, you're disgusted by as an adjective clause containing a participial phrase and a rather elliptical prepositional phrase.
There were also some other parts of speech: one definition for the preposition and three for the verb (participial) senses.
These are: prepositional phrase, participial phrase, gerund phrase, infinitive phrase, adverb clause, adjective clause, and noun clause.
The numbers in the above sentence indicate the beginning of each phrase and subordinate clause-- (1) adverb clause: “When people who swing want to see what's happening” modifies the verb try in the main clause; (2) adjective clause: “who swing” modifies the noun people ; (3) infinitive phrase: “to see what's happening” acts as the direct object of the verb want ; (4) noun clause: “what's happening” acts as the direct objective of the infinitive “to see”; (5) gerund phrase: “attending parties given by hipsters” acts as the direct object of the verb try ; (6) participial phrase: “given by hipster” modifies the noun parties ; (7) perpositional phrase: “by hipsters” modifies the passive participle given . In subsequent sentences I shall provide numbers but leave the reader to identify the structures, which will appear in varying orders, so as to avoide cluttering the discussion with labyrinthine explanations like this one.
