Participles
Participles are used in Latin as adjectives, and agree with the nouns they modify in case, gender and number. They are best translated into English by a clause beginning with "when," "who," "because," "if," or "although." Eg. Miles captus non timebat Although the soldier was captured, he did not fear. Miles captus timebat Because the soldier was captured, he was afraid.

• The Present Active Participle is formed from the present stem plus -ns. Eg., amans, habens, ducens, capiens, audiens. The action of the present active participle takes place at the same time as the main verb. It is declined as a 3rd declension (i declension) adjective.
  • With "eo," the genitive of "iens" is "euntis."
• The Perfect Passive Participle is the fourth principle part of the verb. The action of the perfect passive participle takes place before the action of the main verb. It is declined in the 1st (a) and 2nd (o) declensions.

• The Future Passive Participle, also called the Gerundive, is formed from the present stem plus -ndus. The action of the future passive participle is after the action of the main verb.
