The past participle: Refers to verbs that usually ends in a 'ed' with the exception of irregular verbs.

For example with irregular verbs:

awake (simple present) ---------arose (past particple)

was, were................................. been

blew.......................................... blown

Examples: She blew the whistle (simple past)

The whistle was blown. ( past particle)

Details:

The whistle was blown

was << helping verb ( this is a sign that 'blown' is a past participle)

Details:

She blew the whistle. ( simple past/past) blew ( no helping verb before it)
