+*** ''-ing'' present participle = present continuous tense
+**** ''It is snowing'''; ''They are playing''
+*** ''-ed'' past participle = simple past tense
+**** ''It snowed'''; ''They played''
+** '''non-finite''' forms of participles are
+*** ''-ing'' present participle adjective
+**** ''Snowing all day, the car was buried'''; ''The boys playing around got in trouble''
+*** ''-ing'' "gerund" (present participle noun)
+**** ''Snowing out makes me happy''; ''Playing in the show is fun''
+*** ''-ed'' past participle adjective
+**** ''The snowed in car was stuck'''; ''The team played ''
+* '''participle phrase'''
+** a participle phrase is two or more words that have a non-finite verb (i.e., no subject)
