What is difference between past tense & past participle tense

 

[Horsa]

I am not sure what you are asking.

In English there are 2 basic forms of a verb and 2 participles -

Present form - break
Past form - broke

Past (passive) participle - broken
Present (active) participle - breaking

The participles are used with auxiliary verbs to make perfect and progressive tenses e.g.

Present perfect - 'have done'
Present progressive (continous) - 'am doing'

The past participle is also used to make passives - 'It is broken.
