remained
ri-MAYND/ɹɪˈmeɪnd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of remain.
She remained calm despite the chaos around her.
The ancient ruins have remained untouched for centuries.
Note
One -ed form does double duty. It works as the simple past (she remained calm) and, after have, has or had, as the past participle (the ruins have remained untouched). Remain is often a linking verb, so remained frequently takes a complement that describes the subject, such as calm, silent, unchanged or a mystery, rather than an object. Keep it apart from the noun remains, which means what is left over.
