COMO USAR?

Existem três maneiras principais de usar o past participle:



1) PERFECT TENSES

Sempre que usamos os tempos verbais perfeitos (present perfect, past perfect, present perfect continuous, future perfect, modal perfect, etc) o uso do past participle é obrigatório.

He has drunk some juice
She had seen the apartment before buying it.
She will have gone abroad by the end of the year.

O past participle sempre aparecerá na voz passiva, independentemente do tempo verbal:

The book was written by the man in 1962.
The computer will be bought tomorrow.
The film is being watched by the students.
