Text Participia

A participle is a verbal adjective, meaning it combines certain qualities from both: tense and voice, case, number, and gender. As adjectives, participles decline and modify nouns and/or pronouns.

Latin has just four participles: the present active (using third-declension adjective forms), as well as the perfect passive, future active, and future passive (using first-/second-declension adjective forms).

One of the most challenging aspects that we'll discover about participles this week is how to balance the tense of a participle with the tense of a sentence's main verb.

Decline the forms of the Latin participles.
Understand how participle tenses are 'relative' to main verb tenses.
