What do you call regular verbs that end in "ed" ?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

So which one do you think it is now?

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

C is what i had in mind

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I'm pretty sure that one isn't it. An infinitive is something like "to finish" or "to kick."

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

So it'd be a?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

I believe so.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Can you continue to help i have quite a few left?

OpenStudy (kyanthedoodle):

Since the word abandoned is a past participle, but not a phrase. And sure.
