Significado: A verb form used to create compound tenses or as an adjective, typically ending in '-ing' (present participle) or '-ed'/'-en' (past participle) in English.

分词，用于构成复合时态或充当形容词的动词形式，在英语中通常以'-ing'（现在分词）或'-ed'/'-en'（过去分词）结尾。

Participio, forma verbal utilizada para crear tiempos compuestos o como adjetivo, que normalmente termina en '-ing' (participio de presente) o '-ed'/'-en' (participio de pasado) en inglés.

分詞。複合時制を作ったり形容詞として用いたりする動詞の形で、英語では通常「-ing」（現在分詞）または「-ed」/「-en」（過去分詞）で終わる。

분사. 복합 시제를 만들거나 형용사로 사용되는 동사 형태로, 영어에서는 일반적으로 '-ing'(현재분사) 또는 '-ed'/'-en'(과거분사)으로 끝난다.

Participles occupy a hybrid position between verbs and adjectives. The present participle combines with 'be' to form continuous tenses ('she is running'), whilst the past participle combines with 'have' for perfect tenses ('she has run') or with 'be' for the passive voice ('it was broken'). Dangling participles, where the implied subject is unclear, are a common writing error.

分词处于动词和形容词之间的混合位置。现在分词与'be'结合构成进行时态（'she is running'），而过去分词与'have'结合构成完成时态（'she has run'）或与'be'结合构成被动语态（'it was broken'）。悬垂分词，即隐含主语不明确的情况，是一种常见的写作错误。

Los participios ocupan una posición híbrida entre verbos y adjetivos. El participio de presente se combina con 'be' para formar tiempos continuos ('she is running'), mientras que el participio de pasado se combina con 'have' para los tiempos perfectos ('she has run') o con 'be' para la voz pasiva ('it was broken'). Los participios mal enlazados, en los que el sujeto implícito no queda claro, son un error frecuente en la redacción.

分詞は動詞と形容詞の中間的な位置を占める。現在分詞は「be」と結合して進行形を作り（'she is running'）、過去分詞は「have」と結合して完了形を（'she has run'）、「be」と結合して受動態を作る（'it was broken'）。暗示される主語が不明確な懸垂分詞は、よくある文章上の誤りである。

분사는 동사와 형용사 사이의 혼합적 위치를 차지한다. 현재분사는 'be'와 결합하여 진행 시제를 만들고('she is running'), 과거분사는 'have'와 결합하여 완료 시제를('she has run') 또는 'be'와 결합하여 수동태를('it was broken') 만든다. 내포된 주어가 불분명한 현수분사는 흔한 문장 오류이다.
