Definition

  • A participle is a verb form that ends in -ing (present participle) or -ed, -d, -t, -en, -n (past participle).

  • Participles function as adjectives, describing or modifying nouns.

  • A participle does the work of both a verb and an adjective.

Example Analysis

    • এখানে retired শব্দটি soldier noun-কে modify করছে, তাই এটি adjective-এর কাজ করছে।

    • একই সাথে এটি verb-এর sense বহন করছে (অর্থাৎ "যিনি অবসর নিয়েছেন")।

Types of Participle

  1. Present Participleverb + ing

    • Example: Do not disturb a sleeping dog.

  2. Past Participleverb + ed/d/t/en/n

    • তবে অনেক verb-এ irregular past participle হয় (write → written, eat → eaten)।
