Plz help thanks! In the paragraph below, what word is repeatedly used as a participle?
How do you know it’s a participle?

Michael Jordan is a gifted basketball player. Leonardo DiCaprio is a gifted actor. Selena was a gifted singer. Albert Einstein was a gifted scientist. Maya Angelou is a gifted poet. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a gifted speaker and leader. Can people with such disparate talents all be called gifted? They can if you believe there are myriad of ways for people to be smart, just as there are many different types of people.

i think one answer could be this poet uses no rhyme.

a complex sentence consists of an independent clause and one or more dependent clauses.  

to write complex sentences, we must use subordinating conjunctions.  

all the complex sentences begin with a subordinating conjunction and when it occurs, a comma must be place at the end of the dependent clause. on the contrary, if the sentence begins with an independent clause, then no comma is used.
