Particípio Passado
Para formar o past participle, acrescenta-se o -ed
no fim de verbos regulares;

Alguns verbos mudam sua escrita ao acrescentar o

-ed (o verbo to study se transforma em studied,
por exemplo);
Ex.: I have studied.

E, alguns verbos, não seguem as regras usuais dos

verbos regulares, sendo eles irregulares (o verbo
to write se tranforma em written, por exemplo).
Ex.: I have written.
