There are two types of participles in the English Language, the present participle and the past participle. The present participle is formed by adding ing to a vowel. The past participle is usually formed by adding ed to a vowel or d if a vowel ends in e. Some vowels have an irregular past participle. Some use two different forms. Come is the past participle of come. It is irregular. People do not say he has comed. Some are changing form from irregular to regular. Some people say he has hung the picture. Others say he has hanged the picture. The ed ending is used far more in England than in the United States. In writing, the present participle is replacing relative clauses.
