1. Participles
New Grammar

2. Participles are VERBAL ADJECTIVES.
They MODIFY NOUNS.

3. We will talk about two types this week:
PRESENT ACTIVE and PERFECT PASSIVE
There is no such thing as present passive
participles, nor are there perfect active
participles.

4. There are future participles, both active and
passive.
We’ll learn these a little later.
