I'm trying to figure out the PP, specifically related to cost. Could you please clarify what the PP stands for in this context and how it's calculated?

The English language is rich in verb forms, one of which is the past participle.

This form of the verb is used primarily in two grammatical structures: the present perfect tense and the passive voice.

In the present perfect tense, the past participle is combined with the auxiliary verb "have" or "has" to indicate actions completed at an unspecified time before now.

For example, the sentence "I have cost the company a lot of money" uses the past participle "cost" to show that the action of costing money occurred sometime before now.

The past participle is also essential in forming the passive voice, where it is paired with the auxiliary verbs "be," "have been," or "had been" to indicate that the subject of the sentence is the recipient of the action rather than the doer.
