"born" cannot have a pat tense, for it is not a finite verb.

Derived from the verb to bear, (in the sense of to give birth), it is a passive participial adjective which applies to the person, creature, or thing that is produced.

Example:

Sally bore her third child, who was born in February. She had borne two sons before.

bear

bore

borne

However, "to bear," meaning "to carry" or "to endure" has the same conjugation

bear

bore

borne

but the passive form is "borne," and not "born."

Example: The casket was borne by six men.

"The thousand injuries of Fortunato I had ­borne without complaint."
