hebrew participles

Before you attempt to understand participles, be sure to understand how they work in English.

• Hebrew has both active (video) and passive participles (video).  Here is a great overview.
• Hebrew participles, just like any adjective, can be used as attributive, predicate, or substantival adjectives.

Note: whenever a participle is part of a noun sentence, it is predicate useIf you memorize this one simple rule, you will be a long way towards being able to analyze Hebrew participles accurately..

Attributive use:

• will not be part of a noun sentence;
• will directly follow the noun it modifies;
• will match this noun in gender, number, and definiteness;
• video.

Predicate use:

• will be part of a noun sentence;
• will match this noun in gender and number but not definiteness;
• will be anarthrous;
• video.

Substantival use:

• Will be performing one of the noun functions;
• video.
