The past participle form of the verb 'carry' is 'carried'. In English grammar, we often use the past participle when forming the perfect aspect or passive voice. For example, 'I have carried the bags' (present perfect) or 'The bags were carried by me' (passive voice). It's like a river carrying a leaf; once carried, the leaf's journey is complete, which is why 'carried' indicates a past action. So, just like 'carry' changes to 'carried', many regular verbs follow a similar pattern of adding 'ed' or 'ied' to form their past participle. However, irregular verbs don't have this pattern, like 'go' becomes 'gone'. Language is a wild river, with its own rapids and flows, isn't it?
