Participles are an important aspect of Turkish grammar. In this lesson, you will learn what participles are, how to form them, and how to use them in sentences.  
=== What Are Participles? ===
 
Participles are derived from verbs and can act as modifiers to nouns or serve as nouns themselves. In Turkish, participles can express actions that are ongoing, completed, or in a state of being.
 
There are two main types of participles in Turkish:
 
1. '''Present Participles''': Indicate an ongoing action.
 
2. '''Past Participles''': Indicate a completed action.
 
=== Present Participles ===
 
Present participles in Turkish are formed by adding the suffix '''-en''' or '''-an''' to the verb root. This allows you to describe an action that is currently happening.
 
=== Past Participles ===
 
Past participles are created by adding the suffix '''-miş''' or '''-dı''' (depending on vowel harmony) to the verb root. These participles describe actions that have been completed.
 
=== Examples of Participles ===
 
To illustrate the concept of participles further, here are some examples:

== What are Participles ==


Participles are verb forms that can have the characteristics of both verbs and adjectives. They are formed from verbs and can be used to describe the action of the verb in a sentence. They are often used to modify nouns or noun phrases, creating more complex sentences.
3. Düşen yapraklar yere düştü. (The falling leaves fell to the ground.)


Turkish has two types of participles: past participles and present participles.
=== Summary ===


== Past Participles ==
In this lesson, you learned about participles in Turkish, their types, and their usages. Participles are an essential part of the Turkish language, allowing you to express actions in various forms and add richness to your sentences.


Past participles in Turkish are formed using the suffix -miş. They can be used to describe actions that have already taken place.  
Practice using them in your conversations, and don't hesitate to refer back to this lesson whenever you need a refresher.  


Here is how to form past participles in Turkish:
=== Additional Exercises ===


# Remove the final vowel from the verb root.
Here are more exercises for you to practice:
# Add -miş suffix


For example, let’s look at the verb “görmek” which means “to see”. Its past participle form is “gör-müş” which means “seen”.
==== Exercise 4: Translate to Turkish ====


Here is an example of how to use past participles in a sentence:
Translate the following sentences into Turkish, focusing on using the correct participle forms.


* "Ben lisede okumuş öğrenciyim." (I am a student who has graduated from high school.)
1. The child who is reading is my brother.
* "Çocuk oynamış parkta." (The child who played in the park.)


Notice how in the examples above, the past participle plays the role of an adjective and modifies the noun.
2. The man who has written the book is here.


== Present Participles ==
3. The girl who is playing is my sister.


Present participles in Turkish are formed using the suffix -iyor. They describe actions that are currently taking place.
''Answers:''


Here is how to form present participles in Turkish:
1. Okuyan çocuk benim kardeşim.


# Remove the -mek or -mak ending from the verb root.
2. Kitabı yazan adam burada.
# Add -iyor suffix.


For example, let's look at the verb “yapmak” which means “to do”. Its present participle form is “yap-ıyor” which means “doing”.  
3. Oynayan kız benim kız kardeşim.


Here is an example of how to use present participles in a sentence:
==== Exercise 5: Fill in the Blanks ====


* "O yemek yapıyor." (He/She is making food.)
Fill the blanks with the appropriate participles.
* "Ben kitap okuyorum." (I am reading a book.)


Notice how in the examples above, the present participle plays the role of a verb and describes an ongoing action.
1. ''Yaz___ kitap çok güzel.'' (The written book is very beautiful.)


== Participles in Complex Sentences ==
2. ''Koş___ köpek çok hızlı.'' (The running dog is very fast.)


Participles can be used in complex sentences to create more detailed descriptions. They can be used with conjunctions like ama (but), fakat (however), veya (or), and de (also/too).
3. ''Düş___ meyve yere düştü.'' (The falling fruit fell on the ground.)


Here are some examples of how participles are used in complex sentences:
''Answers:''


* "Ben yorgunum, ama yemek yapmak zorundayım." (I am tired, but I have to cook.)
1. yazan
* "Türkiye güzel bir ülke, fakat bazı sorunları var." (Turkey is a beautiful country, however, it has some problems.)
* "Ahmet ödev yapıyor ve Ali televizyon izliyor." (Ahmet is doing homework and Ali is watching TV.)


Notice how participles are used to provide more information about the actions in the sentence.
2. koşan

Participles play an important role in Turkish grammar. They provide more detail about actions in a sentence and can be used to form complex sentences. In this lesson, we learned about past and present participles, how to form them, and how to use them in sentences.
