Dear Pere,

My statistics of the participles in the Tanakh:

Of 5,315 active participles, the references are as follows:

past: 1,730; present 2,633, future 657; present completed*: 212; modal: 74.

Of 1,100 passive participles, the  references are as follows:

past: 364; present 263, future 97; present completed  299; modal: 77.

*present completed can be compared to English perfect.



Best regards,


Rolf Furuli
Stavern
