Lesson 64
Different Participles (With object in the Accusative Case)
Present Participle
Infinitive
Absolutive (Action completed in the Past)
(i) For expressing the purport of eating food', 'going to the village' etc. in Praksta, the Present Participle is used with object in the Accusative Case. (ii) For expressing the purport of 'for eating food', 'for going to the village' etc. the Infinitive is used with object in the Accusative Case and (iii) For expressing the purport of 'having eaten food', 'having gone to the village' etc. the Absolutive is used with object in the Accusative Case. These Participles are formed from the Verbs. The Present Participle partakes of the nature of an Adjective. The other two (Infinitive and Absolutive) partake of the nature of Indeclinables. These three retain the power of a Verb. Thus, when they are formed from the Transitive Verbs, they take an object in the Accusative Case. The object is placed in the Accusative Case.
