What is a past participle with an irregular verb?

A past participle with an irregular verb is the form of the verb that is used to create perfect tenses (present perfect, past perfect, future perfect) and passive voice constructions. However, instead of following the regular pattern of adding "-ed" to the base form, irregular verbs have unique, unpredictable past participle forms.

Here are some examples:

Verb | Past Participle

------- | --------

eat | eaten

go | gone

see | seen

write | written

take | taken

give | given

break | broken
