It is really important when learning the past tenses, that you learn both the past simple form of the verb and the past participle. You also need to learn when you use them.
Present Perfect:
Have + past participle
E.g. I have studied dance for five years.
Past Perfect
Had + past participle
E.g. I had already eaten the chicken when he asked for some.
Present Passive:
Is/am/are + past participle
E.g. Dance performances are attended by many different types of people.
Past Passive:
Was/were + past participle
E.g. The mouse was chased by the cat.
In regular verbs the past participle is formed by adding ‘ed’.
In the following sentences, which form of the verb is needed, the past simple or the past participle? Only use one word.
