So "sailing" is a present participle (P) as it is an -ing form describing the craft, and if we consider "barge" - no, the verbal is "sailing". Also, maybe I missed, but "sailing" is a participle (P), and if there was another, but in the sentence, "sailing" is the verbal. Wait, the sentence: "The small craft, sailing bravely before the breeze, slipped quickly across the path of the barge." So "sailing" is a present participle (P) and is there another? No, so "sailing" is a participle (P), and maybe "barge" has no verbal. Wait, the question is about verbals in the sentence. So "sailing" is a present participle (P), and is there another?
