Note
One spelling does double duty here: the simple past (the panel reviewed the bid) and the participle after have or in the passive (the bid has been reviewed). The object usually shows which meaning is meant. A critic reviewed a play. A student in the US, Canada or the Philippines reviewed for the exam, going back over earlier material. Two older meanings, seeing again and retracing a path, are now obsolete.
