I haven't talked vs I haven't talk

The correct sentence is 'I haven't talked.' 'Talked' is the past participle form of 'talk,' which is used with the auxiliary verb 'have' to form the present perfect tense. 'I haven't talk' is incorrect because 'talk' is the base form of the verb and does not match the structure needed for the present perfect tense.
