The base form, past form, and past participle form are three different verb forms used in English
to indicate different tenses or aspects of an action. Here's an explanation of each:

​ Base Form (Infinitive): v1


● The base form of a verb is the simplest form, often preceded by the word "to"
(e.g., to run, to eat, to sleep).
● It is used in the present tense with "he/she/it" (e.g., He runs fast).
● It is used after modal verbs like can, will, should, etc. (e.g., She can sing).
● It's used for the imperative mood (giving commands or instructions) (e.g., Run!
Eat your vegetables).

​ Past Form (Simple Past):v2
● The past form of a regular verb is usually formed by adding "-ed" to the base form
(e.g., walked, talked, played).
● Irregular verbs have unique past forms that don't follow a specific pattern (e.g.,
go-went, eat-ate, see-saw).

​ Past Participle: v3
● The past participle form of a regular verb is usually formed by adding "-ed" to the
base form (e.g., walked, talked, played).
● For irregular verbs, the past participle form can be quite different from both the
base and past forms (e.g., go-gone, eat-eaten, see-seen).

The past participle is used in several tenses, including:

● The present perfect tense (e.g., I have eaten).


● The past perfect tense (e.g., She had seen it before).
● The passive voice (e.g., The cake was baked by her).

It's important to note that not all verbs follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed" for the past
forms and past participles. Irregular verbs have their own unique forms that need to be
memorized.

For example, some irregular verbs:

● go-went-gone
● be-was/were-been
● have-had-had
● do-did-done
Understanding these forms is crucial for constructing sentences in various tenses and moods in
English.

pronoun and other words in a sentence.
