Participles are non-finite verb forms, which are marked for tense. Verbal participles are verbs plus past tense and they relate to a verb syntactically (less commonly to a noun that is a predicate. They are heads of subordinate clauses which ordinarily are sentences that indicate sequentially a preceding event. They can mark different aspects.
Relative participles are verb plus past tense or present tense (which covers for future tense also) plus -அ and they relate to the noun that immediately follows it. They are heads of subordinate clauses, called relative clauses, which modify a noun. They can mark different aspects.
Nouns can be made from relative participles, called participial nouns, which refer to the actor of the verb from which the relative participle is derived. These nouns can be in the past or present tense (covering the future tense also). They make gender and number distinction but not person. The participial nouns in neuter singular can refer to the action itself or the fact of the action.
