    The present, perfect, and future participles in Latin are verb forms that function as adjectives. The present participle ends in -ns or -ntis and agrees with the noun it modifies in case and number but not gender. The perfect participle ends in -us, -a, or -um and must agree with the noun it modifies in case, number, and gender. The future participle ends in -urus, -a, or -um and agrees with its subject in number and gender. Both the present and perfect participles are translated as "verb-ed noun" in English, while the future participle is translated as "he/she/it is going to verb."
