The verb form that functions mainly as an adjective and describes or modifies a noun or pronoun is called Participle. A participle is derived from a verb, but it can perform the function of an adjective.
Participles are commonly divided into three types: Present Participle, Past Participle, and Perfect Participle. The participle is called a verbal adjective because it comes from a verb but modifies a noun. A participle can retain some characteristics of a verb while functioning as an adjective.
