Past and Present Participles???
0 Hi, 02 br
00 My name is Alaina. I am from Taiwan. 02 br
02 br
00 I have two questions that nobody can give me an answer for. I am hoping you can help me. 02 br
02 br
00 Here is my example sentence: "Some educators and parents feel that critical thinking opens classrooms to controversey. To ease this 01 i 01 b 00 perceived 02 b 02 i 00 problem, some schools have created a special area..." 02 br
02 br
00 1. Why can I not use perceiving instead of perceived? I think for feelings you can use 'ed' [e.g. I am excited]. But for things you should use 'ing' [e.g. It is an interesting movie] So it should be 'To ease this perceiving problem". 02 br
02 br
00 2. How to use present participle and past participle correctly? 02 br
02 br
00 I hope someone can give me an answer. If not, could you recommend any other websites where I may ask these two questions? 02 br
02 br
00 Thanks a lot Alaina 02 br

0 Most of the time we use the present participle ( -ing) before words that can be the subject of the participle; we use the past participle (-ed, etc.) before words that can be the object of the participle. 02 br
