The past participle of the word 'ban' is 'banned'. 📚

The past participle in English typically ends in -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n, and it's used to form perfect and passive tenses. In the case of 'ban', which is a regular verb, we merely add -ned to give us 'banned'. So in sentences like "The book has been banned" or "She had been banned from the game", 'banned' is the past participle. Remember, participles can also act as adjectives, like in "a banned substance." 😊
