Participial Phrase modified by an adverb???
For the grammar people out there,
what would this be?
"The crowd, cheering wildly, intensified the celebrations"
What is "cheering widly"? I believe it's a participial phrase or an appositive, but either way, adverbs modify verbs right??? A participal is serves as an adjective. I am confused..
