Translating Participles
A
- When translating participles, its tense must be taken as relative to that of the main verb. Present participles refer to actions contemporaneous with the action of the main verb. Perfect participles refer to actions prior to that of the main verb. Future participles refer to actions subsequent to that of the main verb. A proper translation of Latin participles must always bear in mind their tense and voice.
- Present active participle: contemporaneous action, active voice
- Perfect passive participle: prior action, passive voice
- Latin participles should frequently be translated in English with subordinate clauses (i.e., temporal [when], causal [since, because], concessive [although]). The context must decide.
- Beware of deponent verbs! Their perfect participles are passive in form but active in meaning. They are frequently used to fill in the gap left by Latin’s lack of a true perfect active participle.
