praised
SayPRAYZD/pɹeɪzd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of praise.

Note
A regular form: the final e of praise takes -d, and one spelling does the work of both past tense and participle. With have it builds the perfect (they have praised her); with be it builds the passive (she was praised). The verb ranges from commending to worshipping, so the same form can carry a reviewer's approval or a congregation's devotion. Context, not grammar, tells the two apart.
