Question

State the past participle of ‘get’.

Answer 1

Hint: To know the past participle of any verb we need to know how to derive it. So a past participle originally comes from a verb, here the verb is ‘get’. Next in the sentence it must be used either as an adjective, otherwise in order to make a verb tense like the perfect tenses (past perfect, present perfect, etc.). Next keep in mind that there are some common endings patterns they follow: -ed, -t, -d, -n or –en.

Complete answer:
To find the past participle, take a look at the verb given that is ‘get’. Remember that we need a verb, then we need to make it into an adjective or verb tense that can be used in a sentence. And finally keep in mind the endings that normally come into picture for past participles; -ed, -t, -d, -n or –en.

Now since we have the verb, the first step is complete, we can move on to forming the past participle. The past tense for the verb ‘get’ is ‘got’. So this is which is being used as the past participle for the verb ‘get’. Generally in past perfect we say ‘had got’ and in present perfect we use ‘have got’. Also notice that it ends with –t so it satisfies the final property also.
Example: Jeri has got an admission at Youth Icon University. [here ‘got’ is the past participle for the present perfect tense ‘have got’]

The final answer is ‘got’ is the required past participle of ‘get’.

Note: In English language it is very important to have subject-verb agreement as well as use participles in the right places. Adjectives and verbs are all interconnected by participles so if any one goes wrong then the whole sentence would become grammatically incorrect. Misplacing the modifiers or participles can change the meaning of sentences.
