evaluated
- 1Simple past and past participle of evaluate.
The committee evaluated all the proposals before making a decision.
Each candidate was evaluated against the same set of criteria.
Note
One spelling does three jobs: simple past (the committee evaluated the bids), perfect with have (they have evaluated them), and passive with be (each bid was evaluated). The passive is open only to the transitive uses, either assessing something or computing an expression's value. In the intransitive programming and mathematical use, an expression evaluated to zero: it takes to plus the result and has no passive.
