ABSTRACT The current study deals with the translation of the present participle from Arabic into English. It is an attempt to study the problems that encounter translators in translating the present participle into English and the mistakes which they may commit. This may be due to the fact that they are unaware that the present participle is a verbal element which may have a subject in the nominative case and an object in the accusative case. Another problem which may face translators is the variety of forms and rhymes in which the present participle may appear in Arabic as compared with English in which the present participle has one form only ( the –ing form ). The study is divided into three sections. Section One is an introductory section which includes the problem of the study, the value, aim, scope and the procedure adopted in the study. Section Two accounts for the various definitions of the present participle in Arabic and the cases in which it may be used. Section Three is dedicated to the translation of the present participle in the Glorious Qur'an. It discusses the mistakes committed by some translators in translating the present participle in some verses. Finally, the study ends with a list of the main conclusions and findings arrived at in the study and the main references consulted to achieve this work.
