1 Lesson 43: Participial Clauses Participles
A participle comes from a verb, but functions as an adjective e.g. burnt toast Latin has four participles, but the only type you have officially learned is the perfect passive present active loving mother amans mater perfect passive loved mother amata mater future active about to love mother amatura mater future passive about to be loved mother amanda mater The perfect passive participle is formed from the 4th principal part Perfect passive participles decline like 1st/2nd declension adjective

3 Lesson 43: Participial Clauses Translating Clauses
The simplest way to translate a participle as a simple adjective e.g. dominus servum liberatum non habet (the master does not keep the freed slave). However, participles can (note this is not mandatory) also be made into more elaborate clauses dependent to ease fluidity. Relative: The master does not keep the slave who was freed. Temporal: The master does not keep the slave after/once he was freed. Causal: The master does not keep the slave since/because he was freed. Adversative: The master does not keep the slave although he was freed. Conditional: The master does not keep the slave if he was freed. From the list above, some clearly make more sense than others. It is your choice which to use.
