In Lithuanian literature and language, which grammatical feature distinguishes Lithuanian participles from almost all other modern European languages?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. A rich system of 13 active, passive, semi-participle, and gerund forms decline for gender and case
- Step 1: Lithuanian has a magnificent participatory system with present, past, iterative past, and future participles in both active and passive voices. Answer: A rich system of 13 active, passive, semi-participle, and gerund forms decline for gender and case. Why not the others: They decline fully like adjectives and enable complex participial clause constructions.
