conducted
- 1Simple past and past participle of conduct.
The investigation was conducted by an independent committee.
She conducted the meeting with calm authority.
Note
One -ed form does double duty: the simple past (they conducted the survey) and the past participle after have or be (has conducted, was conducted). Most uses are transitive, which is why the passive comes so easily. The behavioral meaning needs a reflexive pronoun: she conducted herself with dignity. In physics the form can stand alone, without an object: the wire conducted. Its older sense, 'escorted' or 'guided', now sounds archaic.
He conducted himself with dignity throughout the trial.
The copper wire conducted well even at low temperatures.
