Note
A regular form: examine simply adds -d, so one spelling serves as the past tense (the doctor examined her) and as the participle after have or be (she has been examined). It carries every meaning of the verb, from inspecting a room and checking a patient's health to testing a candidate and questioning a witness, so the object usually tells you which one is meant.
