grammar pedant here: a past particle is a contradiction in terms according to Richard Feynman who probably thoughtparticles broke all the rules of Time.
A Past Participle on the other hand is what you're referring to...
when you learn this pattern from a grammar book it looks like this:
think thought thought
drink drank drunk
come came come
the first is the bare verb (without to - infinitive)
the second is what you use with the simple past...yesterday I thought
the third is what you use in perfect tenses...I have thought...
learn them first, ask questions when you've got them off pat...best way...
