Functions as a :ref:`non-finite<verb-non-finite>` verbal complement
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
When functioning as a verbal complement, the participle is governed by
|
||||
the main verb of the sentence and has potential to be translated as past
|
||||
time, present time, or future time. A verbal participle can express
|
||||
continuous, imminent, habitual, or even stative action as determined by the
|
||||
context.

Functions as a :ref:`finite<verb-finite>` main verb
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
When functioning as a main verb, the participle is governed by the context
|
||||
and has the potential to be translated as past time, present time,
|
||||
future time, or even without a specified timeframe. A verbal participle
|
||||
can express continuous, imminent, habitual, or even stative action as
|
||||
determined by the context.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: The subject of a verbal participle usually
|
||||
precedes the participle, in contrast to the normal conventions of
|
||||
:ref:`word order<word_order>`.

.. _participle_active-adjectival:
|
||||
Functions as an :ref:`adjective<adjective>`
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
An adjectival participle immediately follows the noun it describes, and matches that noun in gender, number, and :ref:`definiteness<definiteness>`.
|
||||
An adjectival participle can either function as an adjective by itself or introduce an entire clause
|
||||
that functions as an adjective (either :ref:`attributive<adjective-attributive>` or :ref:`predicative<adjective-predicative>`).

|

.. _participle_active-nominal:
|
||||
Functions as a :ref:`noun<noun>`
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
A nominal participle often takes the :ref:`definite article<particle_definite_article>` (but not always),
|
||||
and can either function as a noun by itself or introduce an entire clause that functions as a noun.
|
||||
A nominal participle will appear in the :ref:`construct<state_construct>` state either when it takes a :ref:`pronominal suffix<suffix_pronominal>`
|
||||
or when it is in a construct relationship with another noun in the :ref:`absolute<state_absolute>` state.
