Is received a verb or noun?

"Received" can be both a verb and a past participle.

Verb:

* Past tense: "I received a letter in the mail."

Past Participle:

* Used in a verb phrase: "He has received many awards."

* Used as an adjective: "The received wisdom is that..."

So, the answer depends on the context. In isolation, you can't determine whether "received" is a verb or noun.
