Functions as a :ref:`non-finite<verb-non-finite>` verbal complement
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When functioning as a verbal complement, the participle is governed by
the main verb of the sentence and has potential to be translated as past
time, present time, or future time. A verbal participle can express
continuous, imminent, habitual, or even stative action as determined by the
context.
