The professor summarized the chapter before assigning the homework.
The key findings were summarized in a single paragraph at the end of the study.
Note
One spelling covers two jobs. It is the plain past (she summarized the report) and the participle that follows have or be (he has summarized, the findings were summarized). Because summarize works with or without an object, the past can end a clause on its own: when everyone had spoken, the chair summarized. In the passive it pairs naturally with in or as: summarized in a table, summarized as three points.
When everyone had spoken, the chair briefly summarized.
Asked for the main points, he summarized quickly and sat down.
