Thanks for the reply, the reason I have raised this question is due to there is an already before forbid. Isn't that after already, we should use past participle, in this case, forbidden?

already does not require a past participle.
-- Do you want a pen?
-- No, thank you. I already have one.
-- Did you know that the world is round?
-- Yes, I already knew that!
-- You should always write down the phone number of each student.
-- We already do that.
