Answer 1

To Feel

Present participle: feeling (created by adding -ing to the end of the base form)

The present participle can be used in varied ways

1. Combined with the helping verb, "to be," to form a verb tense called the present continuous or present progressive:
2. Present participle: feeling
3. Progressive verb tense using present participle: I am feeling rather blue. (I added "-ing" to the end of the participle.)

The present participle can also be used as an adjective. Here, "feeling" describes the boy:

1. Everyone had always described him as a deeply feeling boy.

OR

In a participial phrase. A participial phrase, like an adjective, adds extra information.

1. EX.: Feeling blue, the boy walked to school with his head down.

OR

As a gerund, which works as a noun and can be the subject or object of a sentence.

EX,: She denies feeling blue at work.

Here, "feeling" is a gerund or noun and the object of the sentence. It is the recipient of her denial. [What does she avoid? Feeling blue. It's the object of her denial].

Here, the gerund is the subject of the a sentence:

EX: Feeling blue is normal now and then.

[Who or what is normal now and then? Feeling blue-a noun phrase It's doing the action of the auxiliary verb, "is."

You could put "thunder" in place of "feeling blue," if that helps you see how the present participle works as a noun/gerund/subject of the sentence]

The past participle can also be used in varied ways.

Past participle of To feel: felt

"Felt" also forms the past tense. Sometimes, but not always, the word that forms the past participle is the same word that forms the past tense.

1. The past participle is used to create the present perfect tense, which expresses:
2. An action that started in the past and may still be happening
3. An action that started in the past and has come to an end or resulted in a consequence

1. Ex: I have felt blue all morning. (Present tense of "to have" is added to past participle "felt," indicating the action started in the past and is ongoing in the present)

OR

1. Ex.: I have felt blue until this moment. [Present tense of "to have" is added to past participle, "felt." "Until this moment" indicates that the feel that started in the past is over in the "the moment."]

The past participle is also used to form the past perfect, which, when combined with the past tense of "to have," expresses an action that preceded another action. Both happened in the past.

.

1. EX: I had felt blue all night. Nothing changed in the morning.

(Past tense of "to have" is added to past participle "felt," indicating that the action occurred before "nothing changed." Both happened in the past, but the feeling of blueness preceded nothing changing.)

The past participle can also be used as an adjective:

EX: "He had a deeply felt experience." ("Felt" is an adjective describing "experience").

Also, the past participle can be used to form the passive voice:

EX: What he felt was a kind of blueness. (Active voice: He felt a blueness.)

And the past participle can be used to form a participial phrase. A participial phrase, like an adjective, adds extra information.

EX: Felt by everyone in the room, his blueness seemed to ripple.

The other verbs would work the same way regarding present and past participles, EXCEPT for "rode."

There is no infinitive "To rode." The infinitive is "to ride."

Riding would be the present participle, as in "I am riding my bike."

The past tense of "ride" is "rode," as in, "I rode my bike."

The past participle of "ride" is "ridden," as in, "I have ridden my bike."
