What is the passive participle

What is the passive participle

In great and mighty Russian besides the main parts of speech exist so-called transitional, for example a participle which is in turn subdivided into valid and passive. The participle represents synthesis of a verb and adjective and has signs and that and other part of speech.

The participle in linguistics is considered to be a special form of a verb which calls sign of a subject of action. This form incorporated both some signs of a verb (recoverability), and some signs of an adjective (specific suffixes – "in", "вш", "highway"). This part of speech answers two questions at once: "what?" and "that made?". The first question is peculiar to an adjective, and the second appeared from a typical question which the verb answers – "what to do?"

This part of speech is subdivided into two subspecies: valid and passive. The passive participle designates sign of a subject which at the time of the speech is under the influence of action from the person or other subject. For example, in a phrase "The Car Operated by the Driver" the word "operated" will be a passive participle.

The words relating to these subspecies of participles are formed of transitive verbs of imperfective aspect. The last needs to be put now, to allocate in it a basis, if necessary to carry out its truncation, and then to add to what turned out a suffix. In case you used conjugation verb I, it is necessary to add a suffix "I eat" or the "ohm" which for example is "grown up", "conducted". If before you conjugation verb II – add a suffix to "them", for example "persecuted", "stored". From some verbs it is impossible to form passive participles at all, for example to sew, beat, write, etc. These participles of past tense are formed by means of a basis of a transitive verb of past tense and suffixes of "N" and "нн" (if the verb terminates on "to at", "etyet", "yat"), for example "forgotten", "read"; suffixes "ен" and "енн" (if the basis of a verb terminates in a consonant), for example "colored", "weighed"; a suffix of "t" (if the verb terminates on "to eret", "chick-pea", "from" and is terse), for example "grated", "crumpled". A part of verbs which terminate on "St" "st" form participles of past tense by means of bases of the present or future time. Passive participles have two forms of existing: short and full. If the participle is in the first form - it cannot change on cases and is almost always a personalized part of a compound predicate.
