Is there a verb that doesn't take the participle form when used in Present Perfect?

Solution 1:

In every language, there is a tendency towards regularization, that is, irregular forms tend to become regular over time. In particular, this has been happening to the English language for the last 13 centuries. Here are some examples of Old English irregular verbs that became regular in Modern English1:

Although we can't possibly know what verb you used in that utterance, I would guess you used some irregular verb that is in the process of regularizing. So, using the verb form ending in -ed sounds more natural to you. It seems that this is happening to prove, for instance. According to the Wikipedia, "In BrE, the past participle proved is strongly preferred to proven."

Solution 2:

There are some verbs where the former past participle is out of use except as an adjective. This may have been one of these verbs in transition. For example, lots of people say "I have beat" but I think nearly everybody says "a beaten egg" or "a beaten man". Similarly for "I have mowed the lawn" but "a mown lawn".
