7. New Grammar: Participles!
 Textbook p. 30-33
 (We will learn the Present Active & Future Active/Passive soon)
 Perfect Passive Participle: The 4th Principal Part of any Verb
(Portatus, Doctus, Positus, Munitus, Captus)
 What’s a Participle??
 Verbal Adjective (a Verb acting like an Adjective)
 Describes Nouns, so must AGREE with them in Case, #, Gender
 Really, “Portātus, -a, -um,” etc…
 It’s a standard 2-1-2 Adjective!
 Translated as “having been ______-ed”

8. How to Translate?
 So, Participles have Verb Characteristics (Tense & Voice), plus
Adjective Characteristics (Case, #, Gender)
 Often, Participles set off their own Participial phrase
 Tip on p. 35 (Treats the Participle like it’s a Relative Clause!)
 Literally: “having been _______-ed”
 Can express ideas of Relative (standard- “who”), Temporal
(“when,” “after”), Causal (“because”), Adversative (“although”)
 In my class, keep it literal!
 Often, you will see an Ablative of Agent (ā/ab + abl., “by ____”)

9. Ablative Absolute (p. 33)
 Special use of the Perf. Pass. Participle
 Ablative Noun – Ablative Participle
 Lit., “with the _______ having been _______-ed”
 Can express ideas of Relative (standard- “who”), Temporal
(“when/while/after”), Causal (“because/since”), Adversative
(“although”)
