+Participles agree with action of main verb in grammatical tense. If action described by the participle was finished before the main verb, then suffix of Perfect form is used; if it was simultaneous with main verb or continued after it; then present form of participle is used even if the verb itself is in past tense.
 Tolkien wrote that ending //-at// considered earlier an [[grammar_infinitive|infinitive]]'s suffix is more like a participle, but given translation of //durbat// is "constraining", thus closer to //gerund//, see article [[grammar_gerundive|gerundive]] for more information. Gerundive may be translated as future participle in languages which have it.

 In colloquial speech participles also have category of [[grammar_number|number]] expressed by the standard plural suffix. It's added according to rules for [[declension_classes|declension class]], after adding participle suffix to the verb root.
-Participles is the main way to express passive [[grammar_verb#voice|voice]] (while others like [[syntax_impersonal|impersonal constructions]] and gerundives are limited). However they are not used for future passive - use gerundives instead.
