Note
One regular -ed form covers both jobs: the simple past (she pushed the door) and the participle after have or be (had pushed, was pushed). Only the transitive uses take the passive. A door is pushed open, a reluctant colleague is pushed into a decision, a product is pushed hard. The intransitive ones, like straining toward a goal, stop at the perfect: they had pushed on all night.
