[I don't understand exactly what you mean]

Here is some basics that might help you.

Verb has four forms :

 prsent simple : Break, hold, make, drink, write

Past simple:  Broke, held, made, drank, wrote

Past participle: broken, held, made, drunk, written

Present participle: breaking, holding, making, drinking, writing.

Note : sometimes `simple past' and `past participle' has same forms. e.g. held-held, made-made.

As I told you above, Present participle is `ing' form of verbs.

Present participle is used to write `present progressive',  `present perfect progressive',  `past progressive', `past perfect progressive, `future progressive', `future perfect progressive'.

E.g. I am reading books. [Here `reading'  is present participle] [It is present progressive sentence]

I have been playing football for five hours. [Here `playing is present participle, `been' is past participle] [It is present perfect progressive sentence]

Past participle is used to write `perfect tenses' e.g. (Present perfect, present perfect progressive, past perfect, past perfect progressive, future perfect, future perfect progressive)

e.g. I have made this book. [here `made' is past participle] [It is present perfect sentence]

I have been asking questions for 7 hours. [here `been' is past participle, `asking' is present participle] [It is present perfect progressive sentence]

Yes, I can be use had been, I had been wrote english, I had been gone near to his,but he had been met in his house,

Present Participle and Past Participle are not tenses. Tenses tell when an action occured.  Participles are forms of the verb.  These forms can be used with other words to make a tense.

The four forms of a verb are the infinitive (to walk), the present participle (walking), the past (walked), and the past participle (have walked).  With some verbs the past and past participle are the same; with some verbs they are different. (to go, going, went, have gone)

The present participle is used to form progressive tenses.  The past participle is used to form perfect tenses.  If that is not confusing enough, they can also both be used as adjectives.

I hope this helps.
