Punishments for Armed Robbery. Robbery is a felony, regardless of the value of the items taken. Most states punish aggravated robbery, which involves dangerous or deadly weapons, including firearms, quite harshly.
A participle is a form of a verb that is used in a sentence to modify a noun, noun phrase, verb, or verb phrase, and thus plays a role similar to that of an adjective or adverb. It is one of the types of nonfinite verb forms.
A participial phrase is a group of words consisting of a participle and the modifier(s) and/or (pro)noun(s) or noun phrase(s) that function as the direct object(s), indirect object(s), or complement(s) of the action or state expressed in the participle, such as: Removing his coat, Jack rushed to the river. A participle is a verbal ending in-ing (present) or-ed, -en, -d, -t, -n, or-ne (past) that functions as an adjective, modifying a noun or pronoun. 2  A participial phrase consists of a participle plus modifier(s), object(s), and/or complement(s).
