What about I am (currently) honoured.? Not I was honoured with... If speaking in Japanese terms I would assume the latter would be -shita and the former would be something else? ~shita is just past tense (with verbs that end in suru). For the past participle, you'd use ~sareta. For other verbs, you'd switch the "u" to an "a" and add "reta". For example, "kaku" for "to write" would be "kakareta" for "was written". That whole "was honored with" is completely different from the past participle form, by the way. --- What's the difference between a pickpocket and a peeping tom?
