Perfect Passive Participle in Clauses
2
Time Perfect passive participles represent action happening BEFORE the action of the main verb. Voice, Gender and Number Voice: Perfect Participles are Passive Gender and Number: They agree in gender and number with the noun they modify
3
Uses Participles are used more in Latin than in English.
Therefore, we will have to translate them more creatively into English in order for them to make sense
4
Ways to Translate When, After, Although, Since, Because
The participle is then translated in either the perfect or pluperfect tense.
5
Example Convocati pueri verba magistri audient.
After they have been called together, the boys will hear the words of the teacher.
6
Analysis Participle is a verbal adjective –
Convocati agrees with pueri. The action (convocati) took place before the action of the main verb. (translate either in perfect, if main verb is not a past tense, or in pluperfect, if main verb is in the past tense)
7
Example #2 Territi non processerunt.
Since they were scared, they did not advance. Territi is nominative, plural and masculine.
8
Example #3 Quattuor libros lectos accepi.
I received four books after they had been read.
9
Relative Clause A participle phrase can also be translated as a relative clause. Example: Pecuniam amissam invenit. He found the money which had been lost.
10
Translation practice Romani multa oppida occupata reliquerunt.
Visi a peruis, inimici fugerunt.
11
