Question

Which sentence shows correct punctuation? give the book to the kid holding the skateboard. give the book to the kid, holding the skateboard. give the book, to the kid holding the skateboard. give the book, to the kid, holding the skateboard.

Answer 1

C) Give the book to the kid holding the skateboard. 

Answer 2

Answer:

"Give the book to the kid holding the skateboard" shows correct punctuation.

Explanation:

The sentence above contains a participle phrase. In this case, the participle is present so it ends in -ing.  As every phrase requires two or more words, a participle phrase may include objects and modifiers that complete the thought. What is more, they always function as adjectives since they add description to the sentence. The participle requires no punctuation when it concludes the main clause and is describing the word right in front of it.
