- 1Simple past and past participle of drone.
The air conditioner droned steadily through the humid night.
He droned through the report, never once changing his tone.
Note
Nothing irregular happens here: drone simply adds -d, and one spelling serves as both the past tense (the engine droned all night) and the participle after have or had. The participle also forms a passive, but only with the colloquial military sense, which takes an object. A convoy that was droned was struck from unmanned aircraft, while a speaker who droned was humming along in a monotone.
