SKILL 30: AFTER HAVE USE THE PAST PARTICIPLE Explanation: As we know the past participle is used with the verb to have (have / has / having/had) to create the present and past perfect tenses. The past participle formula is as follows: VERB FORMS AFTER HAVE HAVE/HAS + PAST PARTICIPLE For example:  She has eaten all of the cookies.  I have written an essay about my life.  Glenda and Daniel have gone to the mountains.  They have helped me. The past participle is usually the same as the past. Only some irregular verbs have a past participle that is different from its past tense form depending on the type of irregular verb. For example: (I have gone to work (irregular verb)  The cowboys have drunk all the beer.  The swimmers have swum across the lake.
