Passive participle, past participle

Definition: The passive participle is a verb that, when used as a complement to another noun or pronoun, modifies it in such a way that it becomes a part of an existing sentence, without being translated into the target language. In other words, it has its subject (the original noun) and its object (the modified verb). It can be either singular or plural. Passive participle is defined as follows: 1. Passive participle refers to the action that is performed by something, in this case a verb. 2. The passive participle is formed by modifying a verb by changing it from active to passive or vice versa. This change is achieved through adding -ing or -ed to the subject and -ing (in plural) to the object of the verb. For example: - The sentence "The dog barks" has a passive participle that modifies the verb "barks." - In the sentence "He drinks water," "drinks" and "water" are active verbs, but they have been transformed into "drink" as the subject. Passive particles can also be used to indicate how something happened in the past by using the present or future tense. - The sentence "I ate pizza at a restaurant yesterday" has a passive participle that indicates that an event (eating pizza) occurred during the writer's visit to the restaurant. - In the sentence "He bought books and went for a walk," "bought" and "books" are active verbs, but they have been transformed into "bought" as the subject.
