Note
One spelling does both jobs, and the final -y of remedy becomes -ied before the ending. Because remedy is transitive, the participle readily forms the passive (the fault was remedied) and the perfect with have (they have remedied it). Its object is the trouble itself, such as a shortage, a leak or a defect, so ask what was set right, not who was helped.
