Turned into participles, verbs can dress nouns. The -ing form means "in the middle of doing" (a sleeping baby); the past participle means "done or done-to" (a broken window, fallen leaves). In progress, or as a result — two caption styles for the same photograph.
The -ing participle is a paused video: running water, a crying child. The past participle is a photo taken after the event: boiled eggs, a locked door. With a transitive verb it reads as "done-to" (broken); with an intransitive one, "finished happening" (fallen). Passive or perfect: the original verb's character decides. (Only a handful of intransitives — fallen, risen, retired — allow this pre-noun use.)

Breaking glass plays a video of glass in mid-shatter — not what's lying on the floor. The aftermath takes broken. Japanese 割れた can read either way, so run the mid-action-or-aftermath check before translating.
