Past participles can be used to create the perfect tenses and the passive voice, but they need the help of an auxiliary verb to do this.

Examples:

  • Justin has broken his hand so many times that he can no longer play guitar. (present perfect)
  • The vase has been broken by the children. (passive voice)

Past participle can also be used as adjectives. When used in this way, they need a noun to describe.

Examples:

  • Justin has a broken hand. (broken describes the noun hand)
  • The broken vase is worthless now. (brokendescribes vase)
