Note
One spelling does double duty here. Alone it is the simple past, and after have or be it is the participle. Because roll works both ways (something rolls, or someone rolls it), the participle can be intransitive (the fog had rolled in) or passive (the pastry was rolled flat). It also travels with particles: rolled up for wrapping, and rolled out or forth for speech delivered in sounding words.
