What is the participle for the verb 'born'?
Dear English Teacher,
I would like to know what is the participle form for the verb 'born'?
As i the examples below :
I was borned in the year 1945.
He was borned to be a creative person. / He was borned to be creative.
They had a brainstorming session and a new idea was borned.
Should the verb in those sentences above be 'borned' or 'born'?
And another question :
Is the word 'borned' a valid word or has it been wrongly assumed as the participle of the verb 'born'?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you and Best regards,

Re: What is the participle for the verb 'born'?
'Born' is the correct form in those examples- it is the past participle. The verb is bear/bore/born.
Re: What is the participle for the verb 'born'?
Your child will bear/born next month.
bear or born?
I thought, it supposed to be `born' but you told the `born' is a past participle. So I think there should be the base verb `bear'.
Am I right?
Please help me.
Re: What is the participle for the verb 'born'?
You are correct. Use the present "bear" to form the simple future tense: Your daughter will bear a child next month.
However, if you intended to use the passive voice, will be, as in "your child WILL BE born next month," then use the past participle.
