The past participle is one of the principal parts of a verb.

 

The past participle is used in the PRESENT PERFECT and the PASSIVE forms of the verb. Both present (ing) and past participles are also sometimes used as adjectives.

A participle is not a finite verb by itself.

The past participle of regular verbs is the same as the simple past form: both end in -ed.
