Note
One regular form does double duty: the past (she squeezed his hand) and the participle behind perfects and passives (has squeezed, was squeezed). The verb can take an object or go without one when the sense is fitting into a tight place, so both he squeezed through the gap and he squeezed the box in are natural. The passive suits the figurative pressure well: families squeezed by taxes, a manager squeezed between two bad choices.
