Note
A regular verb adds only -d here, because evoke already ends in a silent e. One spelling therefore serves as both the past tense and the participle. Every meaning of the verb takes a direct object, so the participle fits naturally into passives (the mood was evoked by the music). After have, it marks a completed action (the speech had evoked real anger).
