I choose to explain the skill 4, Present Participle.
PRESENT
PARTICIPLE
Present participle is a form
of verb that uses “-ing”
with the base of the word. Most of the times, it performs the function of
an adjective,
though it also works as a verb or a subject in
construction. This verb form is completely regular. It is also known as a
“-ing” form, and uses the auxiliary form “be” to express a progressive aspect
of the tense
Example verb : to laugh :
Here's the present participle: laughing
·
Here it is used
as an adjective: The laughing gnome
·
Here it is used
to form a verb tense: The gnome was laughing.

The Present
Participle
(ending "-ing")
The Past Participle
(usually ending "-ed," "-d,"
"-t," "-en," or "-n")
Present and past participles are non-finite verb. (A non-finite verb is a verb that, by itself, does not show
tense. This means if you look at just a participle, you cannot tell if you're
dealing with the past tense, present tense, or future tense.)
Function
of Present Participle
The function of a present participle is to serve as
an adjective, a verb, or a gerund. However, it is mostly used as a verb and an
adjective to describes nouns and other verbs. Its use is more important in
writing than in speaking. It also is used to combine or shorten active senses
that have the same subjects or may be used after sense verbs. In addition, it
can appear as a participle clause that is helpful in writing to place different
kinds of information in a single sentence. When used as a gerund, it is mostly
in the noun form used as a subject of a sentence.
Example question of Present Participle :
1. I am working.
2. He was singing.
3. She went shopping.
4. I go running every morning.
5. I heard someone singing.
