The '''participle''' is a [[finiteness|non-finite]] form of a [[verb]]. One distinguishes the [[present participle]] ''writing'' in (i), the [[participle of the perfect tense]] ''written'' in (ii), and the [[passive participle]] ''written'' in (iii):

(i) John is writing a book
(ii) John has written a book
(iii) This book was been written by John

In [[Germanic]] and [[Romance]] languages participles sometimes show [[agreement]] [[inflection]], as shown in (iv) by the passive participle ''écrites''<nowiki>: </nowiki>

(iv) Cettes lettres ont été écrites par Marie
Those letters<sub>[Pl,F]</sub> have been written<sub>[Pl,F]</sub> by Marie
