Question

What is the past participle of “study”?

Answer 1

Hint: The past tense is a verb tense that refers to a past event or state of being.
For example- Rani went to the market. Past participle form of the verb is used in a sentence exhibiting past tense.

Complete answer:
The Oxford Dictionary defines "past participle" as "the form of a verb, generally ending in -ed in English, verbs can also be used in forming perfect and passive tenses and can often be used as an adjective. This means that verbs in the past participle form usually end in the letters "ed." For example – helped, loaded etc.

The word “Studies” is the third-person singular simple present indicative form of the verb. Past participles can also be combined with the verb to be to form passive verb forms.
Adding the suffix -ed to a verb forms the past participle most of the time, but not always. It can also be used with an auxiliary verb like "was," "were," "has," or "had" to indicate the completion of an event.

For example- Rani should study for her maths exam
(The above sentence is an example of present tense therefore; first form of the verb is used i.e., study)
Rani studied hard for her maths exam.
(The above sentence is an example of past tense therefore; past participle form of the verb is used i.e., studied)

Therefore, the past participle form of study is studied.

Note: In sentences that denote past tense, past participle or the third form of the word is used. Usually -ed is added at the end of the verb, to convert it into its past participle form.
