Do not fill this in! == Non-finite forms == {{main|Non-finite verb}} Most languages have a number of [[verbal noun]]s that describe the action of the verb. In the Indo-European languages, verbal adjectives are generally called [[participle]]s. English has an [[active voice|active]] participle, also called a present participle; and a [[passive voice|passive]] participle, also called a past participle. The active participle of ''break'' is ''breaking'', and the passive participle is ''broken''. Other languages have [[attributive verb]] forms with tense and aspect. This is especially common among [[SOV language|verb-final languages]], where attributive verb phrases act as [[relative clause]]s.
