Participle
In linguistics, a participle (PTCP) is a form of nonfinite verb that comprises perfective or continuative grammatical aspects in numerous tenses. A participle also may function as an adjective or an adverb. For example, in “boiled potato”, boiled is the past participle of the verb boil, adjectivally modifying the noun potato; in “ran us ragged,” ragged is the past participle of the verb rag, adverbially qualifying the verb ran.
