What are participles that describe white?

There aren't participles that specifically describe "white" in the way you might be thinking. Participles are verb forms that function as adjectives, often describing an action or state of being.

Here's why you might be struggling to find a "white" participle:

* "White" is a color, not an action: Participles usually describe actions (e.g., "running," "broken," "painted") or states of being (e.g., "fallen," "excited").

* "White" is typically used as an adjective: You'd say "a white house," not "a whiting house."

However, you could use participles to describe something related to "white," such as:

* "Whitened": This participle describes something that has been made white, like "a whitened wall."

* "Blanched": This participle describes something that has turned pale, possibly from fear or lack of color, like "a blanched face."

Examples in sentences:

* "The whitened snow glistened in the sunlight."

* "The young man stood blanched with fear."
