The participle (participium) in translation from Latin is meant by "tracing-paper". It is an inconjugable verbal form which designates sign of a subject of action. Together with a dependent word the participle forms a turn which needs to be able to be found in the offer not to make punctuation mistakes.
Instruction
1. The participle combines in itself signs of a verb and adjective. Therefore some linguists include a participle in the morphological category of adjectives. The Glagolnost of a participle is shown available categories of pledge, a look and time. With adjectives it is brought together by a general meaning of sign of a subject and change on sorts, numbers and cases.
2. The greatest complexity is caused by differentiation of participles and adjectives. Both parts of speech answer the identical questions "what?", "what?" also designate sign of a subject. To define that before you – a participle or an adjective – try to change a word to a turn "that, which + a verb". For example: "sliding – that which slides", "warmed – that who is warmed". If such replacement is possible, then before you a participle. Adjectives cannot be changed for a similar turn: "winter", "sleepy", "green".
3. If the participle has a dependent word, then together they form a participial phrase. For example: "The read letter lay on a table". In this offer the participle "read" acts as simple definition, it has no dependent word. This single participle. "The letter read by mom lay on a table". Here "read by mom" is a participial phrase: "read by whom? mom".
4. In offers the participial phrase can face the defined word: "The teacher checked the dictations written the day before". Here the defined word "dictations" - "what?" - "written the day before" (participial phrase). He can also settle down after the defined word: "The teacher checked the dictations written the day before".
5. Depending on that, to or after the defined word there is a participial phrase, it or is allocated on the letter with commas, or is not present. For example: "The road went among the swamps overgrown with the pine forest". The defined word of "swamps" (from it it is asked to a participle: "what swamps? overgrown"). There is in the offer and a participial phrase: "overgrown – those which overgrew - than? wood what? pine". It costs after the defined word and is allocated to a comma. But the participial phrases which are before the defined word do not stand apart: "The road went among the swamps which overgrew the pine forest".
