===Uses===
A participle may be used in either an adjectival or an adverbial sense.
====Adjectival Use====
If the participle has an adjectival function in the sentence, it usually is preceded by a matching definite article (matching in gender, case and number). It may be used either attributively or substantively. When used attributively, it will have a matching noun (matching in gender, case and number).
An adjectival participle is usually translated by adding the word "who" or "which" before the participle. For example, in [[John 11:27]], '''ο εις τον κοσμον ερχομενος''' is translated as '''who has come into the world''' (literal: the into the world coming)
