    Note

    A regular -ed form that does double duty: the simple past (Congress amended the law) and the participle after have or be (the law has been amended). Most current uses are transitive and formal, applied to bills, reports and bylaws. Older texts may use it for healing someone, a sense now obsolete. Before a noun, as in an amended bill, it shades into the adjective.
