Also, the infinitive is"to bear" which means to carry. The mother "bears" or "carries" the child. The child doesn"t bear itself.. That's why we say, "I was born." It means, "I was carried." It is an old-fashioned saying that we still use. We do still say things like, "A mother carries a child for nine months," but we don't really say that a lot anymore.

It's a passive verb, because it's your mother that does the action. The verb is bear, bore, born. She can say I am bearing a child (but it's a bit old fashioned we usually say I'm having a child) but there is no verb for the action that the child does.

There will never be a time where you would say, "I borned." Always use "I was born"
