Participial adjectives describe nouns, adding details like states or actions from the noun's perspective.

Adjective Role

While '-ing' and '-ed' are common, some participial adjectives end differently, like 'known' or 'worn'.

Diverse Endings

Even though they look like verbs, in a participial role they don't show action but characteristics.

In English, participles don't change form to match gender, unlike in some other languages.

Participles do not imply a tense on their own; the sentence's structure determines the time reference.

Participles can be used with the noun they describe either before or after the noun.
