Answer 2

1. He sat at the table thinking. 2. He is reading an interesting book. 3. A broken cup lay on the table. 4. Saying that he left the room. 5. He has done his job well. 6. The word spoken in time may have very important results. 7. Do you know the girl playing in the garden? 8. Look at the beautiful flowers gathered by the children.

In each of these sentences, we need to choose between the Participle I (also known as the present participle) and the Participle II (also known as the past participle).

The Participle I is formed by adding -ing to the base form of the verb, while the Participle II is usually formed by adding -ed, -d, -en, or -t to the base form of the verb, depending on the verb's conjugation rules.

Let's analyze each sentence:

1. He sat at the table thinking. - In this sentence, we use the Participle I because it describes the action that was happening at the same time as the main verb "sat".

2. He is reading an interesting book. - Here, we also use the Participle I because it describes the action that is happening at the same time as the main verb "is".

3. A broken cup lay on the table. - In this sentence, we use the Participle II because it describes the state or condition of the cup. The cup is already broken, so we use the past participle "broken".

4. Saying that he left the room. - Here, we use the Participle I because it describes the action that was happening at the same time as the main verb "left".

5. He has done his job well. - In this sentence, we use the Participle II because it describes the completed action of doing the job well. We use the past participle "done".

6. The word spoken in time may have very important results. - Here, we use the Participle II because it describes the completed action of speaking the word. We use the past participle "spoken".

7. Do you know the girl playing in the garden? - In this sentence, we use the Participle I because it describes the action that is happening at the same time as the main verb "know".

8. Look at the beautiful flowers gathered by the children. - Here, we use the Participle II because it describes the completed action of gathering the flowers. We use the past participle "gathered".

It's important to note that the choice between Participle I and Participle II depends on the context and the meaning we want to convey in each sentence.
