Verbals: a verb that can turn into a noun, an adjective, or an adverb.
There are three types of verbals: participles, gerunds, and infinitives.
We're going to start with participles.
Participles: a verb that can be used as an adjective or an adverb--as an adjective, it modifies (describes) a noun or pronoun. As an adverb, it modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs.
Present participle verbs end in -ing. The raging storm destroyed several houses.
Past participle verbs end in -ed:The defeated army trudged back to base.
