FUTURE ACTIVE PARTICIPLE, ch. 38

Participles are verbal adjectives. Like adjectives they have gender, number, and case; like verbs they have tense and voice. The tense of a participle (or an infinitive) displays relative time.


The Future Active Participle is made from the supine (4th principal part).

Formation:
1) Get 4th principal part (or perfect passive participle from last principal part if deponent).
2) Take off the ending whether –um or –us.
3) Add –ūrus*.
*Note: The –us on the end will decline 1st and 2nd declension like bonus –a –um.
