"M.S. Swaminathan has helped saved millions of lives in poor countries."

Is "saved" as an adjective in this sentence?

Thanks.

Hi,
Your sentence needs a small correction:
"M.S. Swaminathan has helped SAVE millions of lives in poor countries."

So, 'save' is a bare infinitive verb form here. You could also say 'to save'.

Best wishes,
Clive
