In Biblical Hebrew, participles are :ref:non-finite<verb-non-finite>
verbal forms that can change their form based on
:ref:stem formation<stem>
(like :ref:verbs<verb>
) as well as person, gender, state, and :ref:definiteness<definiteness>
(like both :ref:adjectives<adjective>
and :ref:nouns<noun>
).
Participles are very flexible in their grammatical use and can function as a verbal complement, a
:ref:finite<verb-finite>
main verb, an :ref:adjective<adjective>
, or a :ref:noun<noun>
.
In most cases, the context will clearly show how the participle is being used in the sentence. The meaning of a participle is
usually clear, even in cases where its specific grammatical function cannot be determined precisely.
