In linguistics, a participle (from <a href="Latin_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Latin language">Latin</a> <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/participium#Latin" class="extiw external" title="wikt:participium">participium</a> 'a sharing, partaking'; abbr. PTCP) is a <a href="Nonfinite_verb" title="Nonfinite verb">nonfinite verb form</a> that has some of the characteristics and functions of both verbs and adjectives.<a href="#cite_note-1">[1]</a> More narrowly, participle has been defined as "a word derived from a verb and used as an adjective, as in a laughing face".<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a>

"Participle" is a traditional grammatical term from Greek and Latin that is widely used for corresponding verb forms in European languages and analogous forms in <a href="Sanskrit_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Sanskrit language">Sanskrit</a> and <a href="Arabic_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Arabic language">Arabic</a> grammar. In particular, Greek and Latin participles are <a href="Inflection" title="Inflection">inflected</a> for <a href="Grammatical_gender" title="Grammatical gender">gender</a>, <a href="Grammatical_number" title="Grammatical number">number</a> and <a href="Grammatical_case" title="Grammatical case">case</a>, but also <a href="Grammatical_conjugation" title="Grammatical conjugation">conjugated</a> for <a href="Grammatical_tense" title="Grammatical tense">tense</a> and <a href="Voice_(grammar)" title="Voice (grammar)">voice</a> and can take prepositional and adverbial modifiers.

Cross-linguistically, participles may have a range of functions apart from adjectival modification. In European and Indian languages, the past participle is used to form the <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive voice</a>. In English, participles are also associated with <a href="Periphrastic" class="mw-redirect" title="Periphrastic">periphrastic</a> verb forms (<a href="Continuous_and_progressive_aspects" title="Continuous and progressive aspects">continuous</a> and <a href="Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfect</a>) and are widely used in <a href="Adverbial_clause" title="Adverbial clause">adverbial clauses</a>. In non-Indo-European languages, 'participle' has been applied to forms that are alternatively regarded as <a href="Converb" title="Converb">converbs</a> (see <a href="#Sirenik">Sirenik</a> below), <a href="Gerund" title="Gerund">gerunds</a>, <a href="Gerundive" title="Gerundive">gerundives</a>, <a href="Transgressive_(linguistics)" title="Transgressive (linguistics)">transgressives</a>, and nominalised verbs in complement clauses. As a result, 'participles' have come to be associated with a broad variety of syntactic constructions.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div>

The word participle comes from classical Latin participium,<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> from particeps 'sharing, participation', because it shares certain properties of verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. The Latin grammatical term is a <a href="Calque" title="Calque">calque</a> of the Greek grammatical term μετοχή : metochē, 'participation, participle'.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a>

The linguistic term, past participle, was coined circa 1798<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> based on its participial form, whose morphology equates to the regular form of <a href="Preterite" title="Preterite">preterite</a> verbs. The term, present participle, was first used circa 1864<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> to facilitate grammatical distinctions. Despite the taxonomical use of "past" and "present" as associated with the aforementioned participles, their respective semantic use can entail any tense, regardless of aspect, depending on how they are structurally combined.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Forms">Forms</h2></div>

Some languages have extensive participial systems but English has only two participial forms, most commonly termed:

<ol><li>past participle,<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> which is regularly formed with an -ed <a href="Suffix" title="Suffix">suffix</a> (e.g. looked, ended, tutored) but has numerous irregular forms (e.g. broken, spoken, eaten); and</li>

<li>present participle,<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> which is formed with an <a href="-ing" title="-ing">-ing</a> suffix (e.g. breaking, making, understanding).</li></ol>

Some grammars further distinguish passive participles<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> as often associated with <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive voice</a> versus active participles<a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> as often associated with e.g. the <a href="Present_progressive_tense" class="mw-redirect" title="Present progressive tense">present progressive tense</a>, but such linguistic distinctions are neither recognized nor employed on a universal basis.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types">Types</h2></div>

Participles can be used adjectivally (i.e. without characteristics of canonical verbs) as <a href="Attributive_adjective" class="mw-redirect" title="Attributive adjective">attributive adjectives</a>. Unlike standard verbs, participles don’t typically have <a href="Object_(grammar)" title="Object (grammar)">objects</a> or the usual modifiers that verbs have. However, they can be modified by adverbs such as very or slightly. The difference is illustrated by the following examples:

<ul><li>The subject interesting him is Greek history.</li>

<li>Greek history is an interesting subject.</li>

<li>Greek history is a very interesting subject.</li></ul>

In the first sentence, interesting functions transitively in a non-finite sense as a participle that expresses the object him, thereby forming the grammatical equivalent of "[that is] interesting him". In the second and third sentences, interesting functions as a prepositive adjective modifying subject. An adverb (such as very or recently) or a prefix (such as un-) can preface adjectival participles: "a very frightened rabbit", "recently fallen leaves", "uninterested people".

Some languages differentiate adjectival participles and adverbial participles. An adverbial participle (or a participial phrase/clause based on such a participle) plays the role of an <a href="Adverbial" title="Adverbial">adverbial</a> phrase in the sentence in which it appears, whereas an adjectival participle (or a participial phrase/clause based on one) plays the role of an <a href="Adjective_phrase" title="Adjective phrase">adjective phrase</a>. Such languages include <a href="Russian_grammar" title="Russian grammar">Russian</a><a href="#cite_note-ruspar-12">[12]</a> and other <a href="Slavic_languages" title="Slavic languages">Slavic languages</a>, <a href="Hungarian_grammar" title="Hungarian grammar">Hungarian</a>, and many <a href="Eskimo_languages" class="mw-redirect" title="Eskimo languages">Eskimo languages</a>, such as <a href="Sirenik_language" title="Sirenik language">Sirenik</a>,<a href="#cite_note-Men-JazSirEsk-13">[13]</a> which has a <a href="Sirenik_Eskimo_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Sirenik Eskimo language">sophisticated participle system</a>. Details can be found in the sections below or in the articles on the grammars of specific languages.

Grammatical descriptions vary in the way these are treated. Some descriptive grammars treat such adverbial and adjectival participles as distinct <a href="Lexical_category" class="mw-redirect" title="Lexical category">lexical categories</a>, while others include them both in a single category of participles.<a href="#cite_note-ruspar-12">[12]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> Adverbial participles in certain languages may be called <a href="Converb" title="Converb">converbs</a>, <a href="Gerund" title="Gerund">gerunds</a>, or <a href="Gerundive" title="Gerundive">gerundives</a> (though this is not consistent with the meanings of the terms gerund or gerundive as normally applied to English or Latin), or <a href="Transgressive_(linguistics)" title="Transgressive (linguistics)">transgressives</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tense">Tense</h3></div>

Participles are often used to form certain <a href="Grammatical_tense" title="Grammatical tense">grammatical tenses</a> or <a href="Grammatical_aspect" title="Grammatical aspect">grammatical aspects</a>. The two types of participle in Modern English are termed present participle and past participle, respectively (often also referred to as the -ing form and -ed/-en form).<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> The traditional terms are misleading because the participles do not necessarily correspond to tense:<a href="#cite_note-16">[16]</a> the present participle is often associated with the progressive (continuous) aspect, while the past participle is linked with the perfect aspect or passive voice. See the examples below:

<ul><li>They were just standing there.<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a></li>

<li>By the time you get home, I will have cleaned the house.<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a></li></ul>

The first sentence is in the past tense (were), but a present participle expresses the progressive aspect (be standing). The second sentence is in the future tense (will), but a past participle is used for the perfect aspect (have cleaned).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Voice">Voice</h3></div>

Participles may also be identified with a particular <a href="Grammatical_voice" class="mw-redirect" title="Grammatical voice">voice</a>: <a href="Active_voice" title="Active voice">active</a> or <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive</a>. Some languages (such as Latin and Russian) have distinct participles for active and passive uses. In English, the present participle is essentially an active participle, and the past participle has both active and passive uses.

The following examples illustrate those concepts:

<ul><li>I saw John eating his dinner. (Here eating is an active present participle).</li>

<li>The bus has gone. (Here gone is an active past participle).</li>

<li>The window was broken with a rock. (Here broken is a passive past participle)</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Indo-European_languages">Indo-European languages</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Germanic_languages">Germanic languages</h3></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Early_English">Early English</h4></div>

In <a href="Old_English" title="Old English">Old English</a>, past participles of <a href="Germanic_strong_verb" title="Germanic strong verb">Germanic strong verbs</a> were marked with a ge- prefix, a West Germanic feature still found in most strong and weak past participles in Dutch and German today, and often by a vowel change in the stem. Those of weak verbs were marked by the ending -d, with or without an <a href="Epenthesis" title="Epenthesis">epenthetic</a> vowel before it. Modern English past participles derive from these forms (although the ge- prefix, which became y- in Middle English, has now been lost — except in some rare dialects such as the <a href="Dorset_dialect" title="Dorset dialect">Dorset dialect</a>, where it takes the form of a-).

Old English present participles were marked with an ending in -ende (or -iende for verbs whose infinitives ended in -ian).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Middle_English">Middle English</h4></div>

In <a href="Middle_English" title="Middle English">Middle English</a>, the form of the present participle varied across regions: -ende (southwest, southeast, <a href="English_Midlands" class="mw-redirect" title="English Midlands">Midlands</a>), -inde (southwest, southeast), -and (north), -inge (southeast). The last is the one that became standard, falling together with the suffix -ing used to form <a href="Verbal_noun" title="Verbal noun">verbal nouns</a>. See <a href="-ing#Etymology" title="-ing">-ing (etymology)</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Modern_English">Modern English</h4></div>

<a href="Modern_English" title="Modern English">Modern English</a> includes two traditional terms for its participles:<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

<ul><li>The present participle, also sometimes called the <a href="Active_voice" title="Active voice">active</a>, <a href="Imperfect" title="Imperfect">imperfect</a>, or <a href="Progressive_aspect" class="mw-redirect" title="Progressive aspect">progressive</a> participle, takes the ending -ing, for example doing, seeing, working, running, breaking, understanding. It is identical in form to the <a href="Verbal_noun" title="Verbal noun">verbal noun</a> and <a href="Gerund" title="Gerund">gerund</a> (see below). The term present participle is sometimes used to include the gerund;<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> the term "gerund–participle" is also used to indicate the verb form.</li>

<li>The past participle, also sometimes called the <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive</a> or <a href="Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfect</a> participle, is identical to the <a href="Simple_past" title="Simple past">past tense</a> form (ending in -ed) in the case of regular verbs, for example "loaded", "boiled", "mounted", but takes various forms in the case of <a href="English_irregular_verbs" title="English irregular verbs">irregular verbs</a>, such as done, sung, written, broken, understood, put, gone, etc.</li></ul>

In addition, various compound participles can be formed, such as having done, being done, having been doing, having been done.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

Details of participle formation can be found under <a href="English_verbs" title="English verbs">English verbs</a> and <a href="List_of_English_irregular_verbs" title="List of English irregular verbs">List of English irregular verbs</a>.

Participles, or participial phrases (clauses) formed from them, are used as follows:

1. As an adjective used in an attributive sense:

<ul><li>A broken window (i.e., one that has been broken)</li>

<li>An interesting book (i.e., one that interests)</li>

<li>An exciting adventure (i.e., one that excites)</li>

<li>The attached files (i.e., those that are attached)</li>

<li>A fallen tree (i.e., one that has fallen)</li>

<li>Our fallen comrades (i.e., those who have fallen)</li></ul>

Additionally, participles that express an adjectivally attributive meaning can be affixed to form adverbs, such as interestingly and excitedly.

2. In postpositive phrases. These are often regarded as functioning as a <a href="Reduced_relative_clause" title="Reduced relative clause">reduced relative clause</a>:

<ul><li>A window broken by the wind (A window that was broken by the wind).</li>

<li>A woman wearing a red hat (A woman who was wearing a red hat).</li>

<li>The man standing over there is my uncle (The man who is standing over there is my uncle).</li>

<li>We are a people clamoring for freedom (We are a people who are clamoring for freedom).</li></ul>

3. In an <a href="Adverbial_phrase" title="Adverbial phrase">adverbial phrase</a>. In the following, the <a href="Subject_(grammar)" title="Subject (grammar)">subject</a> is understood to be the same as that of the main clause:

<ul><li>Reviewing her bank statement, Ann started to cry (While she reviewed her bank statement, Ann started to cry).</li>

<li>Having reviewed the bank statement, Ann started to cry (After she reviewed her bank statement, Ann started to cry).</li>

<li>He shot the man, killing him (He shot the man and killed him).</li>

<li>Maintained properly, wooden buildings can last for centuries (If/when they are maintained properly, wooden buildings can last for centuries).</li></ul>

With a different subject, placed before the participle:

<ul><li>He and I having reconciled our differences, the project then proceeded smoothly (Because/after he and I had reconciled our differences, the project proceeded smoothly). (This is known as the nominative absolute construction.)</li></ul>

More generally as a clause or sentence modifier:

<ul><li>Broadly speaking, the project was successful.</li></ul>

4. Participles are used to form <a href="Periphrastic" class="mw-redirect" title="Periphrastic">periphrastic</a> verb tenses:

The present participle forms the <a href="Progressive_aspect" class="mw-redirect" title="Progressive aspect">progressive</a> aspect with the auxiliary verb be:

<ul><li>Jim was sleeping.</li></ul>

The past participle forms the <a href="Perfect_(grammar)" title="Perfect (grammar)">perfect</a> aspect with the auxiliary verb have:

<ul><li>The chicken has eaten.</li></ul>

5. The past participle is used to form <a href="English_passive_voice" title="English passive voice">passive voice</a>:

<ul><li>The chicken was eaten.</li></ul>

Such passive participles can appear in an adjectival phrase:

<ul><li>The chicken eaten by the children was contaminated.</li></ul>

Adverbially:

<ul><li>Eaten in this manner, the chicken presents no problem.</li></ul>

And in a nominative absolute construction, with a subject:

<ul><li>The chicken eaten, we returned home.</li></ul>

Note that a past participle that complements a <a href="Stative_verb" title="Stative verb">stative verb</a> (e.g., "The files that are attached or "Our comrades who have fallen") becomes a passive participle within a <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive voice</a> construct.

6. As a gerund. The <a href="Gerund" title="Gerund">gerund</a> is traditionally regarded as distinct from the present participle. A gerund can function transitively (e.g., "I like eating ice cream") or intransitively (e.g., "I like swimming"). In both instances, a gerund functions nominatively rather than adjectivally or adverbially—whether as an object (e.g., "I like sleeping") or as a subject (e.g., "Sleeping is not allowed"). Although gerunds and present participles are morphologically identical, their grammatical functions differ substantially.

Sometimes their morphological similarity can create contextual ambiguity, as <a href="Noam_Chomsky" title="Noam Chomsky">Noam Chomsky</a> pointed out in his well-known example:<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a>

<ul><li>Flying planes can be dangerous.</li></ul>

When the meaning is "The practice of flying a plane is dangerous," flying functions as a gerund; when the danger concerns "Planes that fly" or "Planes when they are flying" (i.e., in contrast to grounded planes), flying is being used adjectivally as a participle. For more on the distinctions between these uses of the -ing verb form, see <a href="-ing#Uses" title="-ing">-ing: uses</a>.

For more details on uses of participles and other parts of verbs in English, see <a href="Uses_of_English_verb_forms" title="Uses of English verb forms">Uses of English verb forms</a>, including the sections on the <a href="Uses_of_English_verb_forms#Present_participle" title="Uses of English verb forms">present participle</a> and <a href="Uses_of_English_verb_forms#Past_participle" title="Uses of English verb forms">past participle</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Scandinavian_languages">Scandinavian languages</h4></div>

In all of the <a href="North_Germanic_languages" title="North Germanic languages">Scandinavian languages</a> the past participle has to agree with the noun to some degree. All of the Scandinavian languages have mandatory agreement with the noun in number. <a href="Nynorsk" title="Nynorsk">Nynorsk</a> and <a href="Swedish_language" title="Swedish language">Swedish</a> have mandatory agreement in both number and gender. <a href="Icelandic_language" title="Icelandic language">Icelandic</a> and <a href="Faroese_language" title="Faroese language">Faroese</a> have agreement in number, gender and case. The verb form used for the perfect (or "<a href="Supine" title="Supine">supine</a>") aspect is generally identical to the nominative neuter singular form of the past participle for all verbs. For the present participle there is no agreement.

Examples in <a href="Nynorsk" title="Nynorsk">Nynorsk</a>:

<ul><li>Sjølvkøyrande bilar kan vere farlege. (English: self-driving cars can be dangerous)</li>

<li>Kyllingen vart eten (English: The chicken was eaten)</li>

<li>Dyret vart ete (English: The deer was eaten)</li></ul>

The participles are marked in bold. The first example involves a present participle and the two latter examples involves a past participle. All present participles end with an -ande suffix.

In Norwegian, the present participle may be used to form adjectives or adverbs denoting the possibility or convenience of performing the action prescribed by the verb. For example:

<ul><li>Var maten etande? (English: Was the food edible?) (or rather: Was the food any good?)</li>

<li>Utan servo vert bilen fort ukøyrande. (English: Without power steering, the car soon becomes impossible to drive.) (Lit: un-drivable)</li></ul>

This construction is allowed in Nynorsk, but not in <a href="Bokm%C3%A5l" title="Bokmål">Bokmål</a>, where suffixes like -elig or -bar are used instead.

<a href="Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> grammar was studied in Europe for hundreds of years, especially the handbook written by the 4th-century teacher <a href="Aelius_Donatus" title="Aelius Donatus">Aelius Donatus</a>, and it is from Latin that the name and concept of the participle derives. According to Donatus there are four participles in Latin, as follows:<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a>

<ul><li>present participle: present stem + -ns (gen. -ntis); e.g. legēns (plural legentēs) "(while) reading"</li>

<li>perfect participle: <a href="Latin_conjugation#Supine" title="Latin conjugation">supine</a> stem + -us, -a, -um; e.g. lēctus "read (by someone)"</li>

<li>future participle: supine stem + -ūrus, -ūra, -ūrum; e.g. lēctūrus "going to read", "due to read"</li>

<li>gerundive (sometimes<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> considered the future passive participle): e.g. legendus "due to be read", "necessary to be read"</li></ul>

However, many modern Latin grammars treat the gerundive as a separate part of speech.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a>

The perfect participle is usually <a href="Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">passive</a> in meaning, and thus mainly formed from <a href="Transitive_verb" title="Transitive verb">transitive</a> verbs, for example frāctus "broken", missus "sent (by someone)". However, certain verbs (called <a href="Deponent_verb" title="Deponent verb">deponent verbs</a>) have a perfect participle in an <a href="Active_verb" class="mw-redirect" title="Active verb">active</a> sense, e.g. profectus "having set out", hortātus "having encouraged", etc. The present and future participles are always active, the gerundive usually passive.

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="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 frāctus "broken" can change to frācta, frāctum, frāctī, frāctō and so on, according to its gender, number, and case.

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 strīctō "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"):

<ul><li>Strīctō gladiō ad dormientem Lucrētiam vēnit.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> "With drawn sword he came to the sleeping Lucretia."</li></ul>

The dynamic, verbal meaning is more common, and Latin often uses a participle where English might use a simple verb.

The present participle often describes the circumstances attending the main verb. A typical example is:

<ul><li>Balbus ad mē vēnit currēns.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a> "Balbus came to me running."</li></ul>

Both the future and the perfect participle (but not the present participle) can be used with various tenses of the verb esse "to be" to make a compound tense such as the future-in-the-past or the perfect passive:

<ul><li>Eō diē Rōmam ventūrus erat.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> "On that day he was going to return to Rome."</li>

<li>Occīsus est ā Thēbānīs.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> "He was killed by the Thebans."</li></ul>

The perfect and future participles can also be used, with or without the verb esse "to be", in indirect speech clauses:

<ul><li>(Dīxit eōs) locum facile inventūrōs (esse).<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> "He said that they were easily going to find the place / He said that they would find the place easily."</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="French">French</h4></div>

There are two basic participles:

<ul><li>Present active participle: formed by dropping the -ons of the nous form of the present tense of a verb (except with être and avoir) and then adding ant: marchant "walking", étant "being", ayant "having".</li>

<li>Past participle: formation varies according to verb group: vendu "sold", mis "placed", marché "walked", été "been", and fait "done". The sense of the past participle is passive as an adjective and in most verbal constructions with être, but active in verbal constructions with avoir, in reflexive constructions, and with some intransitive verbs.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a></li></ul>

Compound participles are possible:

<ul><li>Present perfect participle: ayant appelé "having called", étant mort "being dead"</li>

<li>Passive perfect participle: étant vendu "being sold, having been sold"</li></ul>

Usage:

<ul><li>Present participles are used as qualifiers as in "un insecte volant" (a flying insect) and in some other contexts. They are never used to form tenses.</li>

<li>Past participles are used as qualifiers for nouns: "la table cassée" (the broken table); to form compound tenses such as the perfect "Vous avez dit" (you have said) and to form the passive voice: "il a été tué" (he/it has been killed).</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Spanish">Spanish</h4></div>

In Spanish, the so-called present or active participle (participio activo or participio de presente) of a verb is traditionally formed with one of the suffixes -ante, -ente or -iente, but modern grammar does not consider it a true participle, as such forms usually have the meaning of simple adjectives or nouns: e.g. amante "loving" or "lover", viviente "living" or "live".

The past participle (participio pasado or participio pasivo) is regularly formed with one of the suffixes -ado or -ido (-ado for verbs ending in "-ar" and -ido for verbs ending in "-er" or "-ir"; but some verbs have an irregular form ending in -to (e.g. escrito, visto, puesto), or -cho (e.g. dicho, hecho).<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a> 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 pluscuamperfecto), and the future perfect, in which case it is indeclinable. Some examples:

As an adjective (note how "escritas" agrees in gender with the noun, "las cartas"):

<ul><li>las cartas escritas "the written letters"</li></ul>

To form compound tenses:

<ul><li>Ha escrito una carta. "She (he, it) has written a letter."</li>

<li>Había escrito una carta. "She (he, it) had written a letter."</li>

<li>Habrá escrito una carta. "She (he, it) will have written a letter."</li></ul>

The <a href="Ancient_Greek" title="Ancient Greek">Ancient Greek</a> participle shares in the properties of adjectives and verbs. Like an adjective, it changes form for <a href="Grammatical_gender" title="Grammatical gender">gender</a>, <a href="Grammatical_case" title="Grammatical case">case</a>, and <a href="Grammatical_number" title="Grammatical number">number</a>.

There is a form of the participle for every combination of aspect (present, aorist, perfect, future) and voice (active, middle, passive). All participles are based on their finite forms. Here are the masculine nominative singular forms for a thematic and an athematic verb:

The participle is very widely used in Ancient Greek, especially in prose.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Sanskrit">Sanskrit</h4></div>

Much like <a href="#Ancient_Greek">Ancient Greek</a>, <a href="Sanskrit" title="Sanskrit">Sanskrit</a> has a <a href="Sanskrit_verbs#Participles" title="Sanskrit verbs">wide array of participles</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Celtic_languages">Celtic languages</h3></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Cornish">Cornish</h4></div>

In Cornish, an equivalent present participle construction to English is formed by using ow (owth before vowels) with a verbal noun, e.g. Yma an den ow hwerthin ("The man is laughing"), and den ow hwerthin ("a laughing man"). Like Breton but unlike Welsh, Cornish also has verbal adjectives which are used similarly to English past participles, e.g. dehen molys ("clotted cream"), from the verbal noun mola "to clot".

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Welsh">Welsh</h4></div>

In Welsh, the effect of a participle in the active voice is constructed by yn followed by the verb-noun (for the present participle) and wedi followed by the verb-noun (for the past participle). There is no <a href="Consonant_mutation" title="Consonant mutation">mutation</a> in either case. In the passive voice, participles are usually replaced by a compound phrase such as wedi cael ei/eu ("having got his/her/their ...ing") in <a href="Colloquial_Welsh_morphology" title="Colloquial Welsh morphology">modern Welsh</a> and by the impersonal form in <a href="Literary_Welsh_morphology" title="Literary Welsh morphology">literary Welsh</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Slavic_languages">Slavic languages</h3></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Polish">Polish</h4></div>

The Polish word for participle is imiesłów (<a href="Plural" title="Plural">pl.</a>: imiesłowy). There are four types of imiesłowy in two classes:

Adjectival participle (imiesłów przymiotnikowy):

<ul><li>active adjectival participle (imiesłów przymiotnikowy czynny): robiący – "doing", "one who does"</li>

<li>passive adjectival participle (imiesłów przymiotnikowy bierny): robiony – "being done" (can only be formed off <a href="Transitive_verb" title="Transitive verb">transitive verbs</a>)</li></ul>

Adverbial participle (imiesłów przysłówkowy):

<ul><li>present adverbial participle (imiesłów przysłówkowy współczesny): robiąc – "doing", "while doing"</li>

<li>perfect adverbial participle (imiesłów przysłówkowy uprzedni): zrobiwszy – "having done" (formed in virtually all cases off verbs in their <a href="Perfective_aspect" title="Perfective aspect">perfective forms</a>, here denoted by the <a href="Prefix" title="Prefix">prefix</a> z-)</li></ul>

Due to the distinction between adjectival and adverbial participles, in Polish it is practically impossible to make a <a href="Dangling_modifier" title="Dangling modifier">dangling participle</a> in the classical English meaning of the term. For instance, in the sentence:

<ul><li>I found them hiding in the closet.</li></ul>

it is unclear whether "I" or "they" were hiding in the closet. In Polish there is a clear distinction:

<ul><li>Znalazłem ich, chowając się w szafie. – chowając is a present adverbial participle agreeing grammatically with the subject ("I")</li>

<li>Znalazłem ich chowających się w szafie. – chowających is an active adjectival participle agreeing grammatically with the object ("them")</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Russian">Russian</h4></div>

Verb: слышать [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐtʲ] (to hear, <a href="Imperfective_aspect" title="Imperfective aspect">imperfective aspect</a>)

<ul><li>Present active: слышащий [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐ.ɕːɪj] "hearing", "who hears"</li>

<li>Present passive: слышимый [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɨ̞.mɨ̞j] "being heard", "that is heard", "audible"</li>

<li>Past active: слышавший [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐf.ʂɨ̞j] "who heard", "who was hearing"</li>

<li>Past passive: слышанный [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐn.nɨ̞j] "that was heard", "that was being heard"</li>

<li><a href="Adverbial_participle" class="mw-redirect" title="Adverbial participle">Adverbial</a> present active: слыша [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐ] "(while) hearing"</li>

<li>Adverbial past active: слышав [ˈsɫɨ.ʂɐf] "(while) hearing" (used mostly in the negative in the modern language, e.g. не слышав "without ever hearing")</li></ul>

Verb: услышать [ʊˈsɫɨ.ʂɐtʲ] (to hear, <a href="Perfective_aspect" title="Perfective aspect">perfective aspect</a>)

<ul><li>Past active: услышавший [ʊˈsɫɨ.ʂɐf.ʂɨ̞j] "who has heard"</li>

<li>Past passive: услышанный [ʊˈsɫɨ.ʂɐn.nɨ̞j] "that has been heard", "who has been heard"</li>

<li>Adverbial past active: услышав [ʊˈsɫɨ.ʂɐf] "having heard", "after hearing"</li></ul>

Future participles formed from perfective verbs are not considered a part of standard language.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Bulgarian">Bulgarian</h4></div>

Participles are adjectives formed from verbs. There are various kinds:

Verb: правя [pravja] (to do, imperfective aspect):

<ul><li>Present active: правещ [pravešt]</li>

<li>Past active aorist: правил [pravil]</li>

<li>Past active imperfect: правел [pravel] (only used in <a href="Verb" title="Verb">verbal</a> constructions)</li>

<li>Past passive: правен [praven]</li>

<li>Adverbial present active: правейки [pravejki]</li></ul>

Verb: направя [napravja] (to do, perfective aspect):

<ul><li>Past active aorist: направил [napravil]</li>

<li>Past active imperfect: направел [napravel] (only used in <a href="Verb" title="Verb">verbal</a> constructions)</li>

<li>Past passive: направен [napraven]</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Macedonian">Macedonian</h4></div>

Macedonian has completely lost or transformed the participles of Common Slavic, unlike the other Slavic languages. The following points may be noted:<a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a>

<ul><li>present active participle: this has transformed into a verbal adverb;</li>

<li>present passive participle: there are some isolated cases or remnants of the present passive participle, such as the word лаком [lakom] (greedy);</li>

<li>past active participle: there is only one remnant of the past active participle, which is the word бивш [bivš] (former). However, this word is often replaced with the word поранешен [poranešen] (former);</li>

<li>past passive participle: this has been transformed into a verbal adjective (it behaves like a normal adjective);</li>

<li>resultative participle: this has transformed into a verbal l-form (глаголска л-форма). It is not a participle since it does not function attributively.</li></ul>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Baltic_languages">Baltic languages</h3></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Lithuanian">Lithuanian</h4></div>

Among Indo-European languages, the <a href="Lithuanian_language" title="Lithuanian language">Lithuanian language</a> is unique for having fourteen different participial forms of the verb, which can be grouped into five when accounting for inflection by tense. Some of these are also inflected by gender and case. For example, the verb eiti ("to go, to walk") has the active participle forms einąs/einantis ("going, walking", present tense), ėjęs (past tense), eisiąs (future tense), eidavęs (past frequentative tense), the passive participle forms einamas ("being walked", present tense), eitas ("walked" past tense), eisimas (future tense), the adverbial participles einant ("while [he, different subject] is walking" present tense), ėjus (past tense), eisiant (future tense), eidavus (past frequentative tense), the semi-participle eidamas ("while [he, the same subject] is going, walking") and the participle of necessity eitinas ("what needs to be walked"). The active and passive participles and the semi-participles are inflected by gender, and the active, passive and necessity participles are inflected by case.

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Arabic_verbs#Participle" title="Arabic verbs">Arabic verbs: Participle</a></div>

The <a href="Arabic_grammar#Verbs" title="Arabic grammar">Arabic verb</a> has two participles: an active participle (ʾism al-fāʿil اسم الفاعل) and a passive participle (ʾism al-mafʿūl اسم المفعول), and the form of the participle is predictable by inspection of the dictionary form of the verb. 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="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 kataba, the active participle is kātib كاتب and the passive participle is maktūb مكتوب. Roughly these translate to "writing" and "written" respectively. However, they have different, derived lexical uses. كاتب kātib is further lexicalized as "writer", "author" and مكتوب maktūb as "letter".

In <a href="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="Verb_framing" title="Verb framing">motion verbs</a> as well as participles in <a href="Qur'anic_Arabic" class="mw-redirect" title="Qur'anic Arabic">Qur'anic Arabic</a>). In certain <a href="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="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. ʼĀkil, the active participle of ʼakala ("to eat"), describes one's state after having eaten something. Therefore, it can be used in analogous way to the English <a href="Present_perfect" title="Present perfect">present perfect</a> (for example, ʼAnā ʼākil انا آكل meaning "I have eaten", "I have just eaten" or "I have already eaten"). Other verbs, such as rāḥa راح ("to go") give a participle (rāyiḥ 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="Lexical_aspect" title="Lexical aspect">lexical aspect</a> and its <a href="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="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.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hebrew">Hebrew</h3></div>

Like Arabic, Hebrew has two types of participles (בינוני bênônî): an active participle (בינוני פועל bênônî pô'ēl) and a passive participle (בינוני פעול bênônî pā'ûl). These participles are inflected for gender and number. The active participle takes a variety of syntactic roles, such as a verb in present tense, a noun, and an adjective.

Hebrew has a syntactic construction of the verb "to be" (הָיָה) hayá in the past tense, and the active participle that cognates to the <a href="Past_progressive" class="mw-redirect" title="Past progressive">past progressive</a> tense in English. For example, the word עבדתי avádti means "I worked", and הייתי עובד hayíti ovéd means "I was working". Another use of this syntactic structure is equivalent to "used to" in English. For example, דויד בילדותו היה גר בארצות הברית davíd b'yaldutó hayá gar b'arcót habrít (David in his childhood used to live in the United States).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finnish">Finnish</h3></div>

Finnish uses six participles (partisiippi) to convey different meanings. Below is a table displaying the declension of the participles of the verb tappaa (to kill).

<caption>Finnish Participles

</caption>

<th>

</th>

<th>Active

</th>

<th>Passive

</th></tr>

<tr>

<th>Present

</th>

<td>tappava</td>

<td>tapettava

<tr>

<th>Past

</th>

<td>tappanut

</td>

<td>tapettu

</td></tr></tbody></table>

<th>Agent

</th>

<td>tappama-

</td></tr>

<tr>

<th>Negative

</th>

<td>tappamaton

</td></tr></tbody></table>

The participles work in the following way:

<td>tappava

</td>

<td>Present active participle: Conveys an ongoing action. Used to omit the use of the relative pronoun who, which or that. Tappava means "killing" as in "killing machine". In other words, machine that 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>Present passive participle: Conveys possibility and obligation. Possibility as in -able (killable) and obligation as in something that has to be killed. Tapettava mies can mean both "the killable man" (possibility) and "the man who has to be killed" (obligation).

</td></tr>

<tr>

<td>tappanut

</td>

<td>Past active participle: Used with the verb olla (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 have/had killed), in Finnish the verb "to be" is used instead (minä olen/olin 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>Past passive participle: A concluded action. Tapettu mies = the killed man.

</td></tr>

<tr>

<td>tappama-

</td>

<td>Agent participle: 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 tappamansa mies = The man killed by him. The tense of the translation depends on the context.

</td></tr>

<tr>

<td>tappamaton

</td>

<td>Negative participle: 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>

Each of the participles can be used as adjectives and so some of them can be turned into nouns.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Hungarian">Hungarian</h3></div>

<a href="Hungarian_language" title="Hungarian language">Hungarian</a> uses adjectival and adverbial participles.

Adjectival participles (melléknévi igenév) can be one of these three types:

<ul><li>Present (active): olvas (read) – olvasó (reading), él (live) – élő (living)</li>

<li>Past (usually passive): zár (close) – zárt (closed)</li>

<li>Future (has a modal meaning): olvas (read) – olvasandó (to be read), fizet (pay) – fizetendő (to be paid)</li></ul>

Adverbial participles (határozói igenév) can be:

<ul><li>Imperfect: siet (hurry) – sietve (hurrying, i.e. in a hurrying manner)</li>

<li>Perfect: bemegy (go in) – bemenvén (having gone in) (this form is rarely used in modern Hungarian)</li></ul>

In Hungarian grammar, the infinitive is also considered a kind of participle, the noun participle (főnévi igenév).

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Turkic_languages">Turkic languages</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Turkish">Turkish</h3></div>

Participles are called sıfat-fiil (<abbr style="font-size:85%" title="literal translation">lit.</abbr> 'adjective-verb') or ortaç in Turkish.<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a>

Turkish participles consist of a verb stem and a suffix. Some participles may be conjugated, but some may not. Participles always precede the noun they are defining, unlike in English.

Participle suffixes, like many other suffixes in Turkish, change according to the <a href="Vowel_harmony" title="Vowel harmony">vowel harmony</a> and <a href="Sandhi" title="Sandhi">sandhi</a>.

There are eight types of participle suffixes; -en, -esi, -mez, -ar, -di(k/ği) -ecek and -miş<a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a><a href="#cite_note-yıldız-44">[44]</a>

An easy way to remember those is a mnemonic taught in Turkish schools: "Anası mezar dikecekmiş", which has every type of the suffixes, and is still a coherent sentence, translated as "his/her mother is allegedly going to plant (i.e. erect) a grave(stone)".

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Eskimo–Aleut_languages">Eskimo–Aleut languages</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sirenik">Sirenik</h3></div>

<a href="Sirenik_language" title="Sirenik language">Sirenik language</a>, an extinct <a href="Eskimo%E2%80%93Aleut_language" class="mw-redirect" title="Eskimo–Aleut language">Eskimo–Aleut language</a>, had separate sets of adverbial participles and adjectival participles. Unlike in English, adverbial participles were conjugated to reflect the person and number of their implicit subjects; hence, an adverbial participle could replace a clause in the English sentence "If I were a marksman, I would kill walruses" since the subject was implied by the conjugation.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Constructed_languages">Constructed languages</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Esperanto">Esperanto</h3></div>

<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="Esperanto_grammar#Participles" title="Esperanto grammar">Esperanto grammar: Participles</a></div>

<a href="Esperanto" title="Esperanto">Esperanto</a> has six different participle conjugations; active and passive for past, present and future. The participles are formed as follows:

<th>

</th>

<th>Past

</th>

<th>Present

</th>

<th>Future

</th></tr>

<tr>

<td>Active

</td>

<td>-inta

</td>

<td>-anta

</td>

<td>-onta

</td></tr>

<tr>

<td>Passive

</td>

<td>-ita

</td>

<td>-ata

</td>

<td>-ota

</td></tr></tbody></table>

For example, a falonta botelo is a bottle that will fall or is about to fall. A falanta botelo is one that is falling through the air. After it hits the floor, it is a falinta botelo. 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 dividota kuko. When it is in the process of being divided, it is a dividata kuko. Having been cut, it is now a dividita kuko.

These participles can be used in conjunction with the verb to be, esti, 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 la knabo estos instruita, or, the boy will have been taught. This example sentence is then in the future anterior.

When the suffix -o is used, instead of -a, then the participle refers to a person. A manĝanto is someone who is eating. A manĝinto is someone who ate. A manĝonto is someone who will eat. Also, a manĝito is someone who was eaten, a manĝato is someone who is being eaten, and a manĝoto is someone who will be eaten.

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.

An informal and unofficial addition to these six are the participles for conditional forms, which use -unt- and -ut-. For example, parolunto refers to someone who would speak (or would have spoken), and a leguta libro is a book that would be read (or have been read). These unofficial participle forms are however very rarely used in practice.
