    Participles are verb forms that can function as adjectives. A participle table shows the infinitive, past, and past participle forms of verbs, with regular past participles ending in "-ed". Present participles usually describe active actions and past participles can be used adjectivally, as in "bored students" or "interested readers". Irregular past participles like "burnt", "forgotten", "fallen", and "broken" can also describe nouns as adjectives.
