Participles can easily combine with an adverb, adjective or noun to make a compound adjective. In a surprising number of cases, the compounds are common enough to be considered fixed.

Participles combined with an ADVERB are likely to be derived from an intransitive (object-less) verb.Verbs that cannot be Passive). Fixed combinations include deep-thinking, fast-flowing, free-wheeling, hard-working, high-achieving, long-lasting, never-ending, obstinately-persisting, quick-acting, rapidly-deteriorating, slow-growing, slowly-receding and wildly-fluctuating.

By contrast, participles combined with an ADJECTIVE are likely to be derived from a complement-taking verb. Fixed combinations include bitter-tasting, foul-smelling, good-looking, innocent-seeming, positive-sounding and rough-feeling.

Participles combined with a NOUN are likely to be derived from a transitive (object-needing) verb. Fixed combinations include all-encompassing, awe-inspiring, breath-taking, disease-carrying, fun-loving, heart-stopping, law-breaking, meat-eating, money-grabbing, pleasure-seeking, record-breaking, self-supporting, time-consuming and trouble-causing.

A New Lesson of participles.

In addition to describing a earlier noun, delayed participles often suggest the idea of “how” or “while” or “and”. ( much like Adverb Phrase)

Example: The new trains will make a huge difference travelling at over 200 km/h.

Q: How will the new trains make the difference?
The Answer: Travelling at over 200 km/h.
