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.

|

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
||||||
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>`.

Functions as an :ref:`adjective<adjective>`
|
.. include:: en_uhg/content/includes/participle-adjectival.rst
|
||||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
||||||
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>`).

Functions as a :ref:`noun<noun>`
|
.. include:: en_uhg/content/includes/participle-nominal.rst
|
||||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
||||||
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.
