==Active participle==

Active participle is just the 3-letter root with added suffix denoting the number and person:

{| class="grammar"
|-
! !! singular !!plural
|-
! masculine
| (none) || ים
|-
! feminine
| ת || ות
|}

Sometimes in singular feminine it has the suffix ה instead of ת.

Participles are used like adjectives but may have an direct or indirect object like a verb.

Note that participles have no tense and may denote an action in past, present, or future.

==Passive participle==

Active participle is the three-letter root with a letter ו added between the 2nd and the 3rd letter.

In 3-weak passive participles the third letter ה is replaced with י. [[TODO]]: ''Explain what are 3-weak or more this below.''

A passive participle most often denotes an accomplished action (but it maybe any of past, present, or future).
