[Grammar] participial adjectives

[atabitaraf]

Are present and past participle grammatically considered adjectives always?
I know they can be a part of a verb, but they may not be participle in that case.
My question is just about names.

Not always- they have to be functioning as adjectives to be regarded as such.

I couldn't find your meaning clear. Do you mean when it functions as an adjective we can call it participle?

No. When a participle functions as an adjective, we can call it an adjective.

Participles can also be adverbs.
