21.10 Forming Participles
Participles are verb forms that combine with auxiliary verbs to create different tenses.
-
To form perfect tenses, use had, has, or have with the past participle.
Example: My dog has eaten twice today.
-
To form progressive tenses, use a form of the verb to be with the present participle, or gerund.
Example: My dog is eating a treat.
-
To write in passive voice, use a form of the verb to be with the past participle.
Example: The treat was eaten by my dog.
