Note
One spelling hides more than one verb. Most often it is the past of mending: it takes an object and turns passive easily (the roof had been repaired). It can also mean going somewhere, as in we repaired to the mountains. In that use it takes no object and is followed by to, so it has no passive. The same letters can even mean paired again.
