(This is known as the nominative absolute construction.)</li></ul> <p>More generally as a clause or sentence modifier: </p> <ul><li>Broadly <b>speaking</b>, the project was successful.</li></ul> <p>4. Participles are used to form <a href="/wiki/Periphrastic" class="mw-redirect" title="Periphrastic">periphrastic</a> verb tenses: </p><p>The present participle forms the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_aspect" class="mw-redirect" title="Progressive aspect">progressive</a> aspect with the auxiliary verb <i>be</i>: </p> <ul><li>Jim was <b>sleeping</b>.</li></ul> <p>The past participle forms the <a href="/wiki/Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfect</a> aspect with the auxiliary verb <i>have</i>: </p> <ul><li>The chicken has <b>eaten</b>.</li></ul> <p>5.

As a gerund. The <a href="/wiki/Gerund" title="Gerund">gerund</a> is traditionally regarded as distinct from the present participle. A gerund can function transitively (e.g., "I like <i>eating ice cream</i>") or intransitively (e.g., "I like <i>swimming</i>"). In both instances, a gerund functions nominatively rather than adjectivally or adverbially—whether as an object (e.g., "I like <i>sleeping</i>") or as a subject (e.g., "<i>Sleeping</i> is not allowed"). Although <i>gerunds</i> and <i>present participles</i> are morphologically identical, their grammatical functions differ substantially. </p><p>Sometimes their morphological similarity can create contextual ambiguity, as <a href="/wiki/Noam_Chomsky" title="Noam Chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> pointed out in his well-known example:<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><b>Flying</b> planes can be dangerous.</li></ul> <p>When the meaning is "The practice of flying a plane is dangerous," <i>flying</i> functions as a gerund; when the danger concerns "Planes that fly" or "Planes when they are flying" (i.e., in contrast to <i>grounded planes</i>), <i>flying</i> is being used adjectivally as a participle.

The verb form used for the perfect (or "<a href="/wiki/Supine" title="Supine">supine</a>") aspect is generally identical to the nominative neuter singular form of the past participle for all verbs.

According to Donatus there are four participles in Latin, as follows:<sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li><b>present</b> participle: present stem + <i>-ns</i> (gen. <i>-ntis</i>); e.g. <i>legēns</i> (plural <i>legentēs</i>) "(while) reading"</li> <li><b>perfect</b> participle: <a href="/wiki/Latin_conjugation#Supine" title="Latin conjugation">supine</a> stem + <i>-us</i>, <i>-a</i>, <i>-um</i>; e.g. <i>lēctus</i> "read (by someone)"</li> <li><b>future</b> participle: supine stem + <i>-ūrus</i>, <i>-ūra</i>, <i>-ūrum</i>; e.g. <i>lēctūrus</i> "going to read", "due to read"</li> <li><b>gerundive</b> (sometimes<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> considered the future passive participle): e.g. <i>legendus</i> "due to be read", "necessary to be read"</li></ul> <p>However, many modern Latin grammars treat the gerundive as a separate part of speech.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The perfect participle is usually <a href="/wiki/Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive</a> in meaning, and thus mainly formed from <a href="/wiki/Transitive_verb" title="Transitive verb">transitive</a> verbs, for example <i>frāctus</i> "broken", <i>missus</i> "sent (by someone)". However, certain verbs (called <a href="/wiki/Deponent_verb" title="Deponent verb">deponent verbs</a>) have a perfect participle in an <a href="/wiki/Active_verb" class="mw-redirect" title="Active verb">active</a> sense, e.g. <i>profectus</i> "having set out", <i>hortātus</i> "having encouraged", etc. The present and future participles are always active, the gerundive usually passive. </p><p>Because a participle is an adjective as well as a verb, just like any other Latin adjective its ending changes according to the noun it describes. So when the noun is masculine, the participle must be masculine; when the noun is in the <a href="/wiki/Accusative_case" title="Accusative case">accusative</a> (object) case, the participle is also in the accusative case; when the noun has plural endings, the participle also has plural endings. Thus a simple participle such as <i>frāctus</i> "broken" can change to <i>frācta</i>, <i>frāctum</i>, <i>frāctī</i>, <i>frāctō</i> and so on, according to its gender, number, and case. </p><p>A participle can have a descriptive meaning like an adjective, or a more dynamic meaning like a verb. Thus in the following sentence the participle <i>strīctō</i> "drawn" is better taken as describing an action ("he drew his sword" or "after drawing his sword") rather than as describing the sword ("with a drawn sword"): </p> <ul><li><i><b>Strīctō</b> gladiō ad <b>dormientem</b> Lucrētiam vēnit.</i><sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br />"With <b>drawn</b> sword he came to the <b>sleeping</b> Lucretia."</li></ul> <p>The dynamic, verbal meaning is more common, and Latin often uses a participle where English might use a simple verb. </p><p>The present participle often describes the circumstances attending the main verb. A typical example is: </p> <ul><li><i>Balbus ad mē vēnit <b>currēns</b></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br />"Balbus came to me <b>running</b>."</li></ul> <p>Both the future and the perfect participle (but not the present participle) can be used with various tenses of the verb <i>esse</i> "to be" to make a compound tense such as the future-in-the-past or the perfect passive: </p> <ul><li><i>Eō diē Rōmam <b>ventūrus erat</b>.</i><sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br />"On that day <b>he was going to return</b> to Rome."</li> <li><i><b>Occīsus est</b> ā Thēbānīs.</i><sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br />"<b>He was killed</b> by the Thebans."</li></ul> <p>The perfect and future participles can also be used, with or without the verb <i>esse</i> "to be", in indirect speech clauses: </p> <ul><li><i>(Dīxit eōs) locum facile <b>inventūrōs</b> (esse).</i><sup id="cite_ref-30" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-30"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>30<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><br />"He said that they were easily <b>going to find</b> the place / He said that they <b>would find</b> the place easily."</li></ul> <p>For uses of the gerundive, see <a href="/wiki/Latin_syntax#The_gerundive" title="Latin syntax">Latin syntax#The gerundive</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="French">French</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: French"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>There are two basic participles: </p> <ul><li><b>Present active participle</b>: formed by dropping the <i>-ons</i> of the <i>nous</i> form of the present tense of a verb (except with <i>être</i> and <i>avoir</i>) and then adding <i>ant</i>: <i>marchant</i> "walking", <i>étant</i> "being", <i>ayant</i> "having".</li> <li><b>Past participle</b>: formation varies according to verb group: <i>vendu</i> "sold", <i>mis</i> "placed", <i>marché</i> "walked", <i>été</i> "been", and <i>fait</i> "done".

The gerundio is used in combination with the verb <i>estar</i> ("to be") to make continuous tenses: for example, <i>estar haciendo</i> means "to be doing" (<i>haciendo</i> being the <i>gerundio</i> of <i>hacer</i>, "to do"), and there are related constructions such as <i>seguir haciendo</i> meaning "to keep doing" (<i>seguir</i> being "to continue"). Another use is in phrases such as <i>vino corriendo</i> ("he/she came running") and <i>lo vi corriendo</i> ("I saw him running"). </p><p>The past participle (<i>participio pasado</i> or <i>participio pasivo</i>) is regularly formed with one of the suffixes <i>-ado</i> or <i>-ido (-ado</i> for verbs ending in "-ar" and <i>-ido</i> for verbs ending in "-er" or "-ir"; but some verbs have an irregular form ending in <i>-to</i> (e.g. <i>escrito, visto, puesto</i>), or <i>-cho</i> (e.g. <i>dicho, hecho</i>).<sup id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-32"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>32<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The past participle is used generally as an adjective referring to a finished action, in which case its ending changes according to gender and number. At other times is used to form compound tenses: the present perfect, past perfect (sometimes referred to as the <i>pluscuamperfecto</i>), and the future perfect, in which case it is indeclinable.

These participles are inflected for gender, number and case, but not person. Arabic participles are employed syntactically in a variety of ways: as nouns, as adjectives or even as verbs. Their uses vary across <a href="/wiki/Varieties_of_Arabic" title="Varieties of Arabic">varieties of Arabic</a>. In general the active participle describes a property of the syntactic subject of the verb from which it derives, whilst the passive participles describes the object. For example, from the verb كتب <i>kataba</i>, the active participle is <i>kātib</i> كاتب and the passive participle is <i>maktūb</i> مكتوب. Roughly these translate to "writing" and "written" respectively. However, they have different, derived lexical uses. كاتب <i>kātib</i> is further lexicalized as "writer", "author" and مكتوب <i>maktūb</i> as "letter". </p><p>In <a href="/wiki/Classical_Arabic" title="Classical Arabic">Classical Arabic</a>, the participles do not participate in verbal constructions with auxiliaries the same way as their English counterparts and rarely take on a verbal meaning in a sentence (a notable exception being participles derived from <a href="/wiki/Verb_framing" title="Verb framing">motion verbs</a> as well as participles in <a href="/wiki/Qur%27anic_Arabic" class="mw-redirect" title="Qur'anic Arabic">Qur'anic Arabic</a>). In certain <a href="/wiki/Dialects_of_Arabic" class="mw-redirect" title="Dialects of Arabic">dialects of Arabic</a>, however, it is much more common for the participles, especially the active participle, to have verbal force in the sentence. For example, in dialects of the <a href="/wiki/Levant" title="Levant">Levant</a>, the active participle is a structure that describes the state of the syntactic subject after the action of the verb from which it derives has taken place. <i>ʼĀkil</i>, the active participle of <i>ʼakala</i> ("to eat"), describes one's state after having eaten something. Therefore, it can be used in analogous way to the English <a href="/wiki/Present_perfect" title="Present perfect">present perfect</a> (for example, <i>ʼAnā ʼākil</i> انا آكل meaning "I have eaten", "I have just eaten" or "I have already eaten"). Other verbs, such as <i>rāḥa</i> راح ("to go") give a participle (<i>rāyiḥ</i> رايح), which has a progressive ("is going…") meaning. The exact tense or continuity of the participles is, therefore, determined by the nature of the specific verb (especially its <a href="/wiki/Lexical_aspect" title="Lexical aspect">lexical aspect</a> and its <a href="/wiki/Transitivity_(grammar)" title="Transitivity (grammar)">transitivity</a>) and the syntactic/semantic context of the utterance. What ties them all together is that they describe the subject of the verb from which they derive. The passive participles in certain dialects can be used as a sort of <a href="/wiki/Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive voice</a>, but more often than not, they are used in their various lexicalized senses as adjectives or nouns. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hebrew">Hebrew</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Hebrew"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Like Arabic, Hebrew has two types of participles (בינוני <i>bênônî</i>): an active participle (בינוני פועל <i>bênônî pô'ēl</i>) and a passive participle (בינוני פעול <i>bênônî pā'ûl</i>). These participles are inflected for gender and number.

Used to omit the use of the relative pronoun <i>who</i>, <i>which</i> or <i>that</i>. Tappava means "killing" as in "killing machine". In other words, machine <i>that</i> kills. It can also work as the subject of the sentence. In other words, tappava can mean "the one who kills" or "he who kills". Tappava on... = He who kills is... </td></tr> <tr> <td>tapettava </td> <td><b>Present passive participle:</b> Conveys possibility and obligation. Possibility as in -able (killable) and obligation as in <i>something that has to be killed</i>. <i>Tapettava mies</i> can mean both "the killable man" (possibility) and "the man who has to be killed" (obligation). </td></tr> <tr> <td>tappanut </td> <td><b>Past active participle:</b> Used with the verb <i>olla</i> (to be) to construct the perfect and the past perfect tenses. In English the verb "to have" is used to form the perfect and past perfect tense (I <b>have</b>/<b>had</b> killed), in Finnish the verb "to be" is used instead (minä <b>olen</b>/<b>olin</b> tappanut). Just like the present active participle, it can also be used as the subject in a sentence, except it conveys the meaning in the past tense. In other words, tappanut can mean "the one who killed" or "he who killed". Tappanut on... = He who killed is... </td></tr> <tr> <td>tapettu </td> <td><b>Past passive participle:</b> A concluded action. Tapettu mies = the killed man. </td></tr> <tr> <td>tappama- </td> <td><b>Agent participle:</b> Always used with a possessive suffix. It is used to convey the meaning of the word "by" in English, since there is no word for "by" in Finnish. Hänen tappa<b>mansa</b> mies = The man killed <b>by him</b>. The tense of the translation depends on the context. </td></tr> <tr> <td>tappamaton </td> <td><b>Negative participle:</b> Used to convey impossibility (unkillable) and undoneness (not killed). Tappamaton mies means both "unkillable man" and "man (who is) not killed". </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>Each of the participles can be used as adjectives and so some of them can be turned into nouns. </p> <table border="1" class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Finnish (adjective) </th> <td>tappava</td> <td>tapettava</td> <td>tappamaton </td></tr> <tr> <th>English (adjective) </th> <td>killing</td> <td>killable</td> <td>unkillable (possibility) or <i>not killed</i> (undoneness) </td></tr> <tr> <th>Finnish (noun) </th> <td>tappavuus</td> <td>tapettavuus</td> <td>tappamattomuus </td></tr> <tr> <th>English (noun) </th> <td>killingness</td> <td>killability</td> <td>unkillability (possibility) or <i>lack of killing</i> (undoneness) </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hungarian">Hungarian</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=36" title="Edit section: Hungarian"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/Hungarian_language" title="Hungarian language">Hungarian</a> uses adjectival and adverbial participles. </p><p>Adjectival participles (<i>melléknévi igenév</i>) can be one of these three types: </p> <ul><li>Present (active): <i>olvas</i> (read) – <i>olvasó</i> (reading), <i>él</i> (live) – <i>élő</i> (living)</li> <li>Past (usually passive): <i>zár</i> (close) – <i>zárt</i> (closed)</li> <li>Future (has a modal meaning): <i>olvas</i> (read) – <i>olvasandó</i> (to be read), <i>fizet</i> (pay) – <i>fizetendő</i> (to be paid)</li></ul> <p>Adverbial participles (<i>határozói igenév</i>) can be: </p> <ul><li>Imperfect: <i>siet</i> (hurry) – <i>sietve</i> (hurrying, i.e. in a hurrying manner)</li> <li>Perfect: <i>bemegy</i> (go in) – <i>bemenvén</i> (having gone in) (this form is rarely used in modern Hungarian)</li></ul> <p>In Hungarian grammar, the infinitive is also considered a kind of participle, the noun participle (<i>főnévi igenév</i>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Turkic_languages">Turkic languages</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=37" title="Edit section: Turkic languages"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Turkish">Turkish</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=38" title="Edit section: Turkish"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Participles are called <i>sıfat-fiil</i> (lit. adjective-verb) or <i>ortaç</i> in Turkish.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Turkish participles consist of a verb stem and a suffix.

The participles are formed as follows: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th> </th> <th>Past </th> <th>Present </th> <th>Future </th></tr> <tr> <td><b>Active</b> </td> <td>-inta </td> <td>-anta </td> <td>-onta </td></tr> <tr> <td><b>Passive</b> </td> <td>-ita </td> <td>-ata </td> <td>-ota </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>For example, a <i>falonta botelo</i> is a bottle that will fall or is about to fall. A <i>falanta botelo</i> is one that is falling through the air. After it hits the floor, it is a <i>falinta botelo.</i> These examples use the active participles, but the usage of the passive participles is similar. A cake that is going to be divided is a <i>dividota kuko</i>. When it is in the process of being divided, it is a <i>dividata kuko</i>. Having been cut, it is now a <i>dividita kuko</i>. </p><p>These participles can be used in conjunction with the verb to be, <i>esti</i>, forming 18 compound tenses (9 active and 9 passive). However, this soon becomes complicated and often unnecessary, and is only frequently used when rigorous translation of English is required. An example of this would be <i>la knabo estos instruita</i>, or, the boy will have been taught. This example sentence is then in the future anterior. </p><p>When the suffix <i>-o</i> is used, instead of <i>-a</i>, then the participle refers to a person. A <i>manĝanto</i> is someone who is eating. A <i>manĝinto</i> is someone who ate. A <i>manĝonto</i> is someone who will eat. Also, a <i>manĝito</i> is someone who was eaten, a <i>manĝato</i> is someone who is being eaten, and a <i>manĝoto</i> is someone who will be eaten. </p><p>These rules hold true for all transitive verbs. Since copular and intransitive verbs do not have passive voice, their participle forms can only be active. </p><p>An informal and unofficial addition to these six are the participles for conditional forms, which use <i>-unt-</i> and <i>-ut-</i>. For example, <i>parolunto</i> refers to someone who would speak (or would have spoken), and a <i>leguta libro</i> is a book that would be read (or have been read). These unofficial participle forms are however very rarely used in practice. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=43" title="Edit section: See also"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Attributive_verb" title="Attributive verb">Attributive verb</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Gerund" title="Gerund">Gerund</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Grammar" title="Grammar">Grammar</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Hanging_participle" class="mw-redirect" title="Hanging participle">Hanging participle</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nonfinite_verb" title="Nonfinite verb">Nonfinite verb</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Transgressive_(linguistics)" title="Transgressive (linguistics)">Transgressive (linguistics)</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Converb" title="Converb">Converb</a></li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notes">Notes</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Participle&action=edit&section=44" title="Edit section: Notes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1239543626">.mw-parser-output .reflist{margin-bottom:0.5em;list-style-type:decimal}@media screen{.mw-parser-output .reflist{font-size:90%}}.mw-parser-output .reflist .references{font-size:100%;margin-bottom:0;list-style-type:inherit}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-2{column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns-3{column-width:25em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns{margin-top:0.3em}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns ol{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .reflist-columns li{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-alpha{list-style-type:upper-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-upper-roman{list-style-type:upper-roman}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-alpha{list-style-type:lower-alpha}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-greek{list-style-type:lower-greek}.mw-parser-output .reflist-lower-roman{list-style-type:lower-roman}</style><div class="reflist reflist-columns references-column-width reflist-columns-2"> <ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a rel="nofollow" class="external autonumber" href="https://glossary.sil.org/term/participle">[1]</a> SIL Glossary of Linguistic Terms</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-2"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-2">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">Crystal, David.
