What are past verbs and past participles?

Answer 1

Past verbs are used to make past simple sentences

eg ran past tense of run: The dog ran to school.

or walked past tense of walk: We walked to school last week.

Past participles are used to make:

perfect verb phrases eg - has walked - have waited- had come

passive verb phrases eg - is played - are drunk - were eaten

Past participles for regular verbs are the same as the past simple

eg walk / walked / walked - just add -ed to the verb

for irregular verbs the past participle is a new word or sometimes the same word is used.

eg cut / cut / cut - for the verb cut all forms are the same.

or run / ran / run - the basic verb and the past participle are the same

or eat / ate / eaten - each form has a different word

Answer 2

Past verbs are forms of verbs that indicate actions that have already happened, such as "walked" or "ate." Past participles are verb forms used to create the present perfect, past perfect, and passive verb tenses, typically formed by adding "-ed" to the base verb form in regular verbs.
