===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''' can be translated as '''who has come into the world''' (literal: the into the world coming)

* In [[Galatians 1:23]], ''ο διωκων''' can be translated as '''he who persecuted''' (literal: the persecuting)

:''{{Bible verse|galatians|1|23|lang=WEB}}''
====Adverbial Use====
If the participle has an adverbial function in the sentence, it will never have a definite article.
An adverbial participle can be translated by adding the word "while" (or "after" if it's tense is Aorist). For example
* In [[Mark 1:5]], '''εξομολογουμενοι''' can be translated as '''while confessing''' (literal: confessing)

===Forms===
For example in the sentence "τοῦ δεσπότου κελεύσαντος, οἱ δοῦλοι ἢργαζον" (''after the master has ordered it, the slaves begin to work'') the noun "τοῦ δεσπότου" is in the genitive case showing that it is the subject of κελεύσαντος.
