Explain the Principle of Phrase Practice
Salam teachers! I thought it might help if you could explain the principle of phrase practice through a short story or real-life examples. For instance, you could describe a scene like, "Running through the park, Liam felt the wind in his hair," and then break it down to show how the participle phrase adds detail.

Hello! In your example sentence "Running through the park, Liam felt the wind in his hair." The Main sentence is "Liam felt the wind in his hair." Participial phrase is "Running through the park"

The phrase "Running through the park" starts with the participle "running" and gives us more detail about what Liam was doing at the moment he felt the wind. This phrase adds context and shows how Liam’s action of running relates to the feeling of the wind in his hair. While the participial phrase here acts as an introductory detail, setting the scene and making the sentence more descriptive and vivid.

Another example:

Story: "Covered in mud, Jake smiled proudly after the race."

The Main sentence is "Jake smiled proudly after the race." Participial phrase is "Covered in mud"

Here, "Covered in mud" adds detail about Jake's appearance, telling us what condition he was in when he smiled. It emphasizes his effort and adds a vivid image to the story.

Hope that helps!
