ABSTRACT
Swedish maintains a distinction between the supine (an indeclinable form used with har/hade to form the perfect and pluperfect tenses respectively: see Unit 10) and the past participle, which is a separate form. The past participle functions largely as an adjective and is used in certain types of passive construction. Past participles inflect in the indefinite and definite declensions (see Basic Swedish, Units 13 and 16) as shown in the table on the following page.
