Explanation:

The past tense in English grammar consists of actions that began and was accomplished completely in the past. It is the third main part of a verb that is formed by attaching -ed, -d, or -t to the base form of a regular verb. To express the perfect part, a verb construction that describes events in the past that are linked to a later time, usually the present, the past participle is usually used with an auxiliary (or helping) verb—has, have, or had.  

In addition to the perfect aspect (or perfect tense), the past participle can be used as an adjective or in the passive voice.
