In Koine Greek, participles are formed by adding to and changing the stem of verbs - there are dozens of forms for each word.
 
A participle has the following features

* Gender
* Case
* Number
====Present Active Participle====
 
Using [[λεγω]] (I speak) as an example, the translation for its participle is '''speaking'''. Alternatively, if being used adjectivally, the translation may be '''who is speaking''', and if being translated adverbially, the translation may be '''while speaking'''
