represented
- 1Simple past tense and past participle of represent.
She represented her country at three consecutive Olympic Games.
The chart represented a steady rise in sales over the decade.
Note
The spelling does double duty, as with any regular -ed verb. It is the simple past (she represented her club) and, after have or be, the participle of perfect and passive constructions. Because every sense of represent takes a direct object, the passive comes easily: a client is represented by counsel, a district by its member, a rise by a line on a chart. The by-phrase names who or what does the standing in.
