Here's why:
* Verb: The base form of the word is "beckon," which means to signal or invite someone to come nearer with a gesture or movement.
* Past Participle: "Beckoned" is used to form the present perfect ("has beckoned"), past perfect ("had beckoned"), and passive voice ("was beckoned").
Example:
* Verb: The woman beckoned the child closer.
* Past Participle: She was beckoned by the mysterious figure.
