This 32-item parsing drill covers Qal active and passive participle forms across all major root classes in four parts. Part A presents strong-root active participles in all four inflected forms (ms, fs, mp, construct). Part B covers weak-root active participles (III-ה, Biconsonantal, I-י, I-נ, I-aleph). Part C introduces the passive participle (qatûl pattern) in all attested forms. Part D requires discrimination among active participle, passive participle, Perfect, Imperfect, IC, and IA — using vowel patterns (holem-waw/tsere vs. qamets/shureq) and context clues.
