To answer this question, we need to understand what a participle is and how it functions in a sentence.
A participle is a type of verb that can function as an adjective in a sentence.
There are two types of participles: present participles and past participles.
Present participles always end in -ing. For example, "running," "singing," "eating," etc.
Past participles generally end in -ed, -en, -d, -t, or -n. However, it is important to note that some irregular verbs have unique forms for their past participles. For example, "run" has the past participle "run," "drink" has "drunk," "eat" has "eaten," etc.
Therefore, the correct answer for the first blank is "adjective" and for the second blank is "-ing." For the third blank, we can suggest "-ed" as a general ending for regular verbs, but it is important to keep in mind that irregular verbs may have different endings.
noun, -ing, -ed
