What is the past participle of foolish?

The past participle of "foolish" is foolish.

It's a bit of a tricky one because "foolish" is already an adjective, and adjectives don't have past participles in the same way verbs do.

Here's why it's confusing:

* Verb: The verb form is "to fool." The past participle of "to fool" is "fooled."

* Adjective: The adjective form is "foolish." It describes a state or quality, not an action.

So, while you can say "I was fooled," you wouldn't say "I was foolish-ed."
