Today we went over present participles (chapter 40). They function as adjectives and also substantives. Pages 133-136 explain the formation, declension and use of the present participle. You have seen them in such sentences as:
Cornelia et Sextus and Marcus servos laborantes spectant.
Omnia quae Cornelia videt eam delectat: mendicos pecuniam petentes. . . . .
