GOT bitten. does GOT make the sentence a paST participle or it it juct there and got bitten is just PASTl?

Answer 1

if use gotten but then it is a past participle if use something wrong like that i get yelled by my english teacher=}

Answer 2

No GOT does not make the sentence a past participal.
Along WITH the past participle (bitten), it creates the tense.

The present tense of got is get.
The present tense of bitten is bite.

In this case, GOT is the auxiliary or helping verb.
Bitten is the past participle.

You could also (more correctly) use the word WAS as
an auxiliary or helping verb.

"He was bitten" sounds more correct than
"He got bitten" which sounds crude. Ironically,
I think Brits are more comfortable using got
to make simple past than Americans.

Anyway, adding a helping or auxiliary verb does
not make a SENTENCE a past participle; it is just
one of the elements of the verb form.

Past perfect simple is formed by combining the simple past form of to be (was...or in your case the past form of get which is got) with the simple past form of the main verb which does NOT have "ed" on the end because BITE is irregular--the past participle = bitten.

In fact, construction is also passive, because I did not DO the biting. (The sentence is not I bite or I am biting.) Using GET as the auxiliary is also passive, because again, the subject receives the action rather than perform it.

I (the subject) received the action.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Bitten is a past participle, but the 'got' has nothing to do with it. The parts of 'bite' are bite, bit, bitten. In the case you have, 'bitten' is not part of a verb - it's an adjective. In addition to making verbs into PERFECT (perfect only; not present or past) tense, both the present (-ing) and past participle are often used as adjectives .

Examples:

The lake was frozen.
The basketball team got beaten.
The rusted pot was on the porch.
