The rules in three lines
The full topic lives on its own page. This is only the core you need for the test.
-
Active → Partizip I (ends in -d)
If something does the action itself (a crying child, rising prices), you use Partizip I.
die steigenden Preise
-
Passive → Partizip II (ge…t/en)
If something was done by someone else (a building that was built, a book that was written), you use Partizip II.
das gebaute Haus
-
Order: article + everything else + participle + noun
The participle must always stick to the noun (directly on its left).
das gestern in Berlin gekaufte Auto
Commonly mixed up
Where a direct translation breaks. The hard questions come from here.
-
die schnell gestiegenen Preise → meaning “still rising”
die schnell steigenden Preise
Both are correct German with different meanings: gestiegen = have risen (finished), steigend = rising (ongoing). If the prices are still rising, use Partizip I.
-
das von mir Buch gelesene
das von mir gelesene Buch
The adjective does not come after the noun. The participle (gelesene) has to stand directly in front of the noun (Buch).
