LATIN III-10 – PARTICIPLES
Nomen_____________________________
A participle is a verbal adjective. This means that it is formed from a verb but acts like an adjective. As an adjective, it
modifies a noun or pronoun and agrees in gender, number & case.
You have already seen the perfect passive participle. This is the fourth principal part of a verb. You have been using it
combined with a form of the verb “to be” to create the perfect passive system of conjugated verbs.
You have also learned to use it as a pure adjective.
