Hey there!

Great question! The past participle of "stay" is "stayed." Past participles are used to form the perfect tenses, alongside "have" or "had" (e.g. "I have stayed at this hotel before"). They are also used in passive voice constructions (e.g. "The guests were stayed in the hotel").

Think of the past participle as a verb that has already been completed in the past. Just like how we say "I stayed in the hotel last night," the past participle "stayed" describes a completed action in the past.

I hope this helps. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you!
