The past participle is used in several contexts:

1. Perfect Tenses:

   • The past participle is used with auxiliary verbs (have/has/had) to form the present perfect, past perfect, and future perfect tenses.

     • Present Perfect: She has eaten breakfast. (Action completed recently or at an unspecified time in the past)

     • Past Perfect: They had already left when I arrived. (Action completed before another past action)

     • Future Perfect: By next year, I will have finished the project. (Action completed before a future time)

2. Passive Voice:

   • The past participle is used with forms of the verb "to be" to form the passive voice.

     • The book was read by many people. (Emphasizes the action or the receiver, not the doer)

3. Adjectives:

   • The past participle can also function as an adjective to describe a state or condition resulting from an action.

     • The broken glass (Describes the state of the glass after being broken)

     • The excited students (Describes the students’ emotional state)

4. With Modal Verbs:

   • In combination with modal verbs like can, could, should, might, must, etc., the past participle is used to express ability, possibility, necessity, etc.

     • She must have forgotten about the meeting. (Expresses speculation)

     • He could have asked for help. (Expresses past possibility)

In these cases, the past participle is key to forming proper tense structures and expressing different nuances in English grammar!
