Present Active Participle
For a Present Active Participle, take the stem of a verb, add "ns" for Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter Nominatives, and Neuter Accusatives, or add "nt" and an ending from the chart below for all other cases and genders.
Note about "i/e" for Ablatives: When the participle is used as an adjective, use i; when the participle is used as a verbal adjective or substantive, use e Translation: Nominative: "Parans" = "preparing" - Genitive: "Parantis = "preparing" Pretty Easy, eh? |
Perfect Passive Participle
Much more simple to remember, a Perfect Passive Participle is just a 4th part of a verb using it's "us, a, um" (adjective endings of 1st/2nd declensions) endings to modify a noun or pronoun; it must agree in case, number or gender. Translation: use "having been" + "_ed" -> "Coquus vocatus ab ombibus laudatus est." translates to "The cook, having been summoned, was praised by everyone." |

Future Active Participle
For these, just take the 4th part of your verb, and before adding the "us, a, um" endings (see Perfect Passive Participle above), put in a "ur" (example: "portaturus") Translation: just say "about to _" -> "moritura" translates to "about to die" |
