The past participle form of the word "receive" is "received". This form is used in perfect tenses. For example, in the sentence "I have received your letter", "have received" is in the present perfect tense. The past participle "received" works with the auxiliary verb "have" to show an action that happened at an unspecified time before now. The interesting thing about English is that it has so many exceptions, but luckily "receive" follows the regular pattern of forming past participles: you simply add "d" or "ed" to the base form of the verb. Keep up the good practice and you'll master these in no time! 😊
