The Forms of the Participle
| Active | Passive | |
|---|---|---|
| Indefinite | writing | being written |
| Perfect | having written | having been written |
Note : - Those are the forms of Participle I which is formed by adding the suffix -ing to the stem of the verb (to go - going, to read - reading, etc.). Participle II has only one form (asked, came. spoken, cut, etc.).
Indefinite Participle denotes an action simultaneous with what expressed by the finite verb.
Perfect Participle denotes an action prior to that expressed by the finite verb.
