1 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 More practice Pecunia, a me in via amissa, ab amico meo inventa est. 2. Malus puer, ab amicis monitus, liberos non iam terruit. 3. Miles, bello commotus, trans flumen domum iit.
