[B-Greek] time in participles

When I did my first year Greek course, I remember the Greek participle had
case, number, gender, voice, & aspect. We were taught that the participle
did not have time, only aspect. I remember that the aspect could be
understood with time in relation to the governing verb (antecedent, etc.).
Recently, I was looking through participles and I saw the future participle.
Future is clearly time (as opposed to progressive, aorist, and perfect
aspects). Then I read a grammar that seemed to indicate it was tense, not
aspect that is in the Greek participle.
Could someone help clarify this for me, especially in relation to the future
participle. Thanks.
