past participle
Already done form
A past participle is a verb form used with auxiliaries to create perfect tenses (has eaten, had gone) or passive constructions (was broken, is forgotten).
In English, regular past participles end in -ed (walked, talked), while irregular ones take various forms (sung, written, caught).
Past participles also function as adjectives: a broken window, the frozen lake.
