The following examples from Wikipedia illustrate what is "passive participle"
The bus has gone. (Here gone is an active past participle).
ex_1: The window was broken with a rock. (Here broken is a passive past participle)
Cambridge Dictionary gives these examples
Cambridge University Press published this book. (active)
ex_2: This book was published by Cambridge University Press. (passive)
I can't see the difference between ex_1 and ex_2.
Are "passive participle" and " Passive voice" the same?
Best Answer
In short:
Participle is a form of a verb that can be used, among other things, to create tenses and the passive voice. When a participle is used to create passive voice, it can be called "passive participle."
In the sentence:
...the word broken is a participle and the sentence is in the passive voice.
