What is the tense of shared in “when shared?”
Consider the sentence "Everything is better when shared with friends."
What is the tense of "shared" in this context? It confuses me because the sentence implies that the sharing has not yet happened, but the word itself seems like it is in past tense form.
I am trying to learn another language and I am having a difficult time translating this sentence.
