Note
One regular -ed form does double duty: it is the simple past (the crowd cheered) and the participle behind perfect and passive constructions (had cheered, was cheered). Because the applauding sense works with or without an object, both the crowd cheered and the crowd cheered the team are complete. When it means lifting someone's spirits, it often takes up: the news cheered her up, and she was cheered up by it.
