PAST PARTICIPLE - WHAT IS IT?

The past participle of a verb is one of two past forms. As an

English student, you’ve probably studied some irregular verbs,
seen in a list consisting of three words: the infinitive, the simple
past, and the past participle.

For example,

VERB TENSES THAT USE THE PAST PARTICIPLE

The past participle is used in several tenses, especially perfect

forms. For example:

Present Perfect – You’ve met Bill before.

Past Perfect – We had already seen the film.
Future Perfect – She’ll have finished by 12:00.
Third Conditional – If the train had arrived on time, I
wouldn’t have been late.
Modals In The Past – She could have studied more.
Passive Form – The mobile phone was invented by Motorola.

PAST PARTICIPLE ADJECTIVES

There are several adjectives in English that are created from

the past participle form of the verb. In this case, the past
participle becomes a word that describes a noun (a person or an
object).

For example,

BORED – I was bored, waiting for the bus.
EXCITED – The children are excited about the party.
MOTIVATED – Young graduates are motivated to work hard.
SURPRISED – We were very surprised to hear the news.
TIRED – He was tired after the match.

CREATING THE PAST PARTICIPLE

English verbs can be separated into two categories –

regular verbs and irregular verbs. Regular verbs follow a simple
pattern in which both the past simple and the past participle
form of the verb are created by adding -ed. The irregular verbs
don't follow this pattern, they have their own structure and the
best way is to learn them through reading and memorizing.
Here are some exemples of irregular verbs:

TENSES IN ENGLISH: A BRIEF OVERVIEW

Most likely, you already know that there are three tenses in English:

Past tense
Present tense
Future tense

This concept of tenses is reflected in the way we use verbs.

Depending on which tense we’re using, the verbs we use become
modified or conjugated.
These tenses can further be divided into four distinct forms
(simple, continuous, perfect and perfect continuous). For the past
tense, they are:

Simple past
Past continuous
Past perfect
Past perfect continuous

SIMPLE PAST TENSE

The easiest form, we use this when the action has already
happened or has been completed.
Example: “I ate a chicken sandwich.”

PAST CONTINUOUS
We use this to refer to something in the past that has already
happened, but as though it were still happening (usually in the context
of another event).

Example: “I was eating a chicken sandwich when he called me."

The “-ing” verb gives us the impression of an action that is

happening, while the “was” means that it took place in the past.

PAST PERFECT
We usually use this to talk about events that have already been
completed before a specified time or another event.

Example: “I had eaten a chicken sandwich that my mother had

made for me.”

The use of the verb “had” along with the specific verb form “eaten”
(which is the participle form) tells us that it’s in the past perfect.

PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS

Finally, we use this verb form to refer to an action that was still
happening until another event occurred.

Example, “I had been eating chicken sandwiches from the local

diner until I learned to cook on my own.”
