What part of speech is seen?

"Seen" can be a few different parts of speech, depending on how it's used in a sentence:

* Past participle of the verb "to see": This is the most common use of "seen." It acts as an adjective, describing something that has been perceived by sight.

* Example: "I have seen the Eiffel Tower."

* Part of a present perfect tense: This is used when the action of seeing happened in the past and continues to have a present effect.

* Example: "I have seen that movie many times."

* Part of a passive voice sentence: This is used when the subject is acted upon by something else.

* Example: "The painting was seen by millions of people."

To determine the part of speech, you need to analyze the context in which "seen" is used.
