    A past participle is a verb form that is used as an adjective or to form verb tenses. It is formed from a verb and usually ends in "-ed", "-d", "-t", "-en", or "-n". For regular verbs, the past participle is formed by adding "-ed" to the base verb. Irregular verb past participles are formed in various ways and must be memorized. Participles are non-finite verbs that do not show tense on their own.

    FORMING THE PAST PARTICIPLE
    (REGULAR VERBS)

    If it's a regular verb, the past participle is the same as the simple past
    tense. In other words, it is formed like this:

    Add "ed" to most verbs:


    jump > jumped
    paint > painted
    If a verb of one syllable ends [consonant-vowel-consonant], double the
    final consonant and add "ed":
    chat > chatted
    stop > stopped

    If the final consonant is "w," "x," or "y," don't double it:


    sew > sewed
    play > played
    fix > fixed

    If last syllable of a longer verb is stressed and ends [consonant-vowel


    consonant], double the last consonant and add "ed":
    incur > incurred
    prefer > preferred
    If the first syllable of a longer verb is stressed and the verb ends
    [consonant-vowel-consonant], just add "ed":
    open > opened
    enter > entered
    swallow > swallowed

    If the verb ends "e," just add "d":


    thrive > thrived
    guzzle > guzzled

    If the verb ends [consonant + "y"], change the "y" to an "i" and add "
    cry > cried
    fry > fried

    PARTICIPLE (IRREGULAR
    VERBS)
    If it's an irregular verb, the past participle is formed in all sorts of
    different ways. Here are some examples:
    arise > arisen
    catch > caught
    choose > chosen
    know > known
    Participles are non-finite verbs. (A non-finite verb is a
    verb that, by itself, does not show tense. This means
    if you look at just a participle, you cannot tell if
    you're dealing with the past tense, present tense, or
    future tense.)
