Past verbs are used to make past simple sentences

eg ran past tense of run: The dog ran to school.

or walked past tense of walk: We walked to school last week.

Past participles are used to make:

perfect verb phrases eg - has walked - have waited- had come

passive verb phrases eg - is played - are drunk - were eaten

Past participles for regular verbs are the same as the past simple

eg walk / walked / walked - just add -ed to the verb

for irregular verbs the past participle is a new word or sometimes the same word is used.

eg cut / cut / cut - for the verb cut all forms are the same.

or run / ran / run - the basic verb and the past participle are the same

or eat / ate / eaten - each form has a different word

Past participle verbs?

Past participles do not have a consistent ending. The past participles of all regular verbs end in ed; the past participles of irregular verbs, however, vary considerably.If you look at bring and sing, for example, you'll see that their past participles-brought and sung-do not follow the same pattern even though both verbs have ing as the last three letters.
