[B-Greek] Predicate Adjective Participles

I have this question about the adjectival use of the
participle.

Greek adjectives can function as predicate adjectives,
and so can adjectival participles. But I think I read
that adjectival participles only rarely function as
predicate adjectives. Is that right? If so, why would
there be less frequency of an adjectival participle
functioning as predicate adjective as compared to the
basic adjective? What is it in the nature of a
participle that would restrict its use as a predicate adjective?
