Best Answer

The past participle is been.

The word 'are' is a present tense form of the verb 'to be' that is used with you, we, they.

The past participle of the verb is used to form the 'perfect' tenses.

The past participle of regular verbs is formed by adding -ed.

But 'To be' is an irregular verb.

The past participle of 'be' is been.

Examples:

  • Albert has been very unhappy since his dog died. PRESENT PERFECT
  • Shiree had been waiting for at least an hour before she finally decided to go home. PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
  • My parents go to a different country each time they have a holiday. By the end of this year they will have beento sixty-two different countries. FUTURE PERFECT
