Note
One spelling does two jobs, as with every regular verb: the finite past (she responded at once) and the participle after have (she has responded). Because respond usually takes no direct object, a passive needs its preposition (the letter was responded to), which sounds clumsier than was answered. The transitive use mostly reports speech: he responded that he would come.
