The participle is a verb form. Some linguists attribute it to an independent part of speech. Both opinions are correct. If you compare the adjective and participle, then they will have common grammatical features.
A participle is similar to an adjective in that it describes or characterizes a phenomenon, object, person, etc. However, it is worth considering the presence of verb signs in the adjective.
Let's compare: scarlet and scarlet - two words that are definitions. Only in the latter case, the definition is expressed by the participle. It becomes more interesting to read or hear, because the object becomes scarlet, it seems that an action is taking place.
The sacraments help add dynamics to the story. The sentence “Yellow leaves on gray soil are beautiful” is beautiful, but everything in it freezes. Replacing adjectives with participles, we get movement. The yellowing leaves on the gray earth are beautiful. The dynamics are immediately felt, the narration becomes alive, it is pleasant to read the text.
Participles and participle phrases help replace different words and expressions. Instead of "who reads", you can use the word "reading", which sounds better than in the first case. And extra words are not needed. This is the universality of this part of speech.
The sacraments decorate speech, add flavor to the described objects. If you need a living, and not static description, then you should use the participles. Only an important point must not be forgotten. It consists in building the sacraments correctly. They have no future tense. You can take action only now, or return to the past.
