Note
One spelling does two jobs, because rescue simply adds -d. Standing alone it is the finite past (crews rescued the hikers). After have or be it builds the perfect and the passive (the hikers were rescued). The form also carries the verb's laboratory sense, where researchers say a lost trait was rescued, and its figurative one, as when a side rescued a draw from a losing match.
