Note
One spelling does double duty, as with every regular verb: the past tense stands alone, while the participle follows have or forms the passive. Its uses follow add's. Transitively it takes an object, and in reporting it introduces a further remark (she added that…). Intransitively, with to, it means intensified: in the delay added to the tension, nothing new is joined, and something already there only grows.
She added that the meeting would be postponed until Friday.
The long delay only added to the tension in the room.
