to the present tense of the verb.

b. The past participles of regular verbs are formed by
adding -d or –ed to the present tense of the verbs.

Examples:
mark – marked

c. The past participles of some irregular verbs are the
same as their present tense and past tense forms.

Examples:
read – read - read
cut – cut - cut
