Something Old, Something New… Intro to passive voice Perfect Passive Participles
Verbs—Review • We’ve seen that verbs have certain characteristics, like: • Person—who? • 1st—I/we • 2nd—you/you all • 3rd—s/he/it/they • Number—how many? • Sing/plural • Tense—when? • Present/imperfect/perfect/pluperfect • Mood—what’s the tone/situation? • Indicative/imperative • These characteristics are called “aspects.”
One last Aspect (i.e. the “something new”) VOICE This is the difference between doing an action and having it done to you. I see the dog. The dog IS SEEN by me. They were writing a paper. A paper WAS BEING WRITTEN by them.
Now for the Old bit… Remember our present ACTIVE participles? Portans, portantis—carrying Servi in cubiculum irrumperunt, Barbillumportantes. It’s called “present” because the action of the participle happens at the same time as the rest of the action in the sentence. It’s “active” because the slaves are DOING the carrying, they are not BEING carried.
Another participle? Yes, please. In stage 21, we will see another TENSE and VOICE of participle. The PERFECT PASIVE participle. Because it’s perfect, when is this action taking place in relation to the rest of the sentence? The past. Because it’s passive, is it DOING or RECEIVING the action? Receiving
The perfect passive participle in action: Servi in cubiculum irruperunt, Barbillumportantes. The slaves burst into the bedroom, carrying Barbillus. Barbillus, in cubiculum portatus, dormivit. Barbillus, having BEEN carried into the bedroom, slept.
How’s it formed? You’ve learned that verbs have three parts…but there is a fourth, final principal part. Amo, amare, amavi, amatus This 4th part is the masculine perfect passive participle. Masculine Feminine Neuter Amatusamataamatum
Present active participle (PAP) versusperfect passive participle (PPP)
PAP or PPP? Amans Aedificatus Sedentem Amatae Portantes Vulneratos Portati Intrans Captam
A word on PPPs These are still participles, so they are part verb/part adjective They MUST agree with the noun they describe in those same three key ways: Case Number Gender Use what you’ve learned! You know the 1st and 2nd declension endings, don’t freak out!
