participle
Grammar:.a form of a verb that in some languages, such as English, can function independently as an adjective, as the past participle-baked-in 'We had some baked beans' and is used with an auxiliary verb to indicate tense, aspect or voice, as the past participle-baked-in the passive sentence 'The beans were baked too long.'

The 'dangling participle' is quite common in speech, where it often passes unremarked; but its use in writing can lead to unintentional absurdities, as in 'He went to watch his horse take a turn around the track carrying a copy of the breeders' guide under his arm.' 

Even when the construction occasions no ambiguity, it is likely to distract the reader, who will ordinarily be operating on the assumption that a participle or other modifying phrase will be associated with the noun.phrase that is immediately adjacent to it.

Thus the sentence 'Turning the corner, the view was quite different', would be better rewritten as 'The view was quite different when we turned the corner' or 'Turning the corner, we saw a different view.'

A number of expressions originally derived from active participles are now well established as prepositions of a kind and these may be used freely to introduce phrases that are not associated with the immediately adjacent noun phrase. Such expressions include concerning, considering, failing, granting, judging by and speaking of. Thus one may write 'Speaking of politics, the elections have been postponed' or 'Considering the hour, it is surprising that he arrived at all'.

past participle.a verb form indicating past or completed action or time that is used as a verbal adjective in phrases such as 'baked beans' and 'finished' and with auxiliaries to form the passive-voice or perfect and pluperfect-tenses in constructions such as 'She had baked the beans' and 'The work was finished'. Also called perfect participle.
