The past participle of the word "close" is "closed". Past participles are used in perfect tenses. For example, "I have closed the door." Here, "have closed" is present perfect tense, the auxiliary verb "have" and the past participle "closed" combining to illustrate the action that has completed. The word "closed" can also act as an adjective, like in the phrase "the closed shop". Furthermore, just like a tightly shut box, the English language can sometimes seem closed off, but once you know the rules and patterns –like how regular verbs form their past participles– it all starts to open up beautifully.
