Welcome to this tutorial today.
We're going to talk about the past participle.
Let's get started.
Now a past participle refers to the form of a verb which is used in forming perfect and passive tenses
and sometimes used as an adjective.
Now have a look at the sentence over here.

Now we usually add e d to the B's form of the regular verb to form the past participle.

Note that the past participle of the regular verb painted in the sentence is used in the present perfect
and in the active voice and in this sentence.

voice.
Now remember that there is no pattern as to forming the past participle of the irregular verbs.
