The past participle of the word 'tell' is 'told'. 💡 Participle forms are important in English as they're used in various times and tenses. In the case of 'tell', it's an irregular verb and its past simple and past participle forms are the same: 'told'. Just like other irregular verbs, it doesn't follow the regular conjugation pattern, so it's a good idea to memorize it. For example, we use it in perfect tenses, "I have told you not to touch my computer", passive voice, "The tale was told by my grandmother", or as adjectives, "I was left with told tales." 😊
