Topic: Past participle

	Participle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In linguistics, a participle is an adjective derived from a verb.
		The present participle in English is an active participle; the past participle is usually a passive participle (but sometimes not: in particular, the past participles of intransitive verbs are never passive, and are therefore sometimes used with active senses, such as in the expression fallen comrades).
		A present participle is often confused with a gerund, a noun form of a verb with "-ing".

		In Latin you only get past participles of the "chosen" and "eaten" variety; that is, for verbs which can be used passively (be chosen, be eaten).

	The Blue Review: Volume 1 - October Edition
		A participle is a verb form, for example, "flying," "speaks," "played," "watch" or "dreamt." A participle can be used with an auxiliary verb, also called a helping verb (such as "had," "are," "is" and "were").
		The verb form "put" is a past participle, but it neither acts as an adjective (because it does not describe anything), nor does it have an auxiliary verb.
		Explanation: "Blooming" is a present participle that acts as an adjective because it describes the noun "roses." "Withered" is a past participle that acts as an adjective because it describes the noun "leaves."

		Present Participle of the auxiliary + Past Participle of the verb.

		The past participle is so called because of the resemblance between it and the past-tense form of the verb.
		Both strong and weak past participles are descended from Indo-European forms in which adjectives were made by adding the endings -to- and -no- to the verbal root.
		These usages all arise from the perfective sense of the past participle: it expresses the state that is consequent upon an action having been completed.

	Verbals
		This section covers three different verbals: the participle (which acts as an adjective), the gerund (which acts as a noun), and the infinitive (which also acts as a noun).
		The second type of participle, the past participle, is a little more complicated, since not all verbs form the past tense regularly.
		Note that only transitive verbs can use their past participles as adjectives, and that unlike other verbals, past participles do not take objects (unless they are part of a compound verb).
