From a book I'm reading:
"She had even born her lover twins."
"To bear" is a weird verb (I mean, irregular). Here are the tenses/forms:
I/you/they/we bear children.
He/she/it bears children.
I bore two children.
I have borne several children.

So would it be correct to say, "She borne her lovers twins"?
"She had borne" or "She bore" is correct. "Borne" is the past participle and goes with an auxiliary verb such as "had."
