Images: present active participles have the same endings as third declension adjectives: ingēns (huge; enormous) is a good example to use; it isn’t a participle because it’s not formed from a verb but it looks exactly the same as the participle.
The case endings for the participle are the same for all three genders singular and plural apart from: [i] the neuter accusative singular which is the same as the nominative (nāvigāns) and [ii] the neuter nominative and accusative plural (nāvigantia).
The reason for the -ī / -e variation in the ablative singular will be explained later.
The Latin Tutorial video gives an overview of the uses and endings of the present active participle.
