Past Participles

A past participle is a word that (1) formed from a verb, (2) is used as an adjective or to form verb tense, and (3) probably ends with "-ed," "-d," "-t," "-en," or "-n." For example:


Let's look at the verb to whisper:

• Here's the past participle: whispered
• Here it is used as an adjective: The whispered word
• Here it is used to form a verb tense: She had whispered him the answer.

There are two types of participles:

• The Past Participle
(Past participles usually end with "-ed," "-d," "-t," "-en," or "-n.")
• The Present Participle
(All present participles end with "-ing.")

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.)
