Note
One spelling does double duty: simple past (she transferred) and participle (has transferred, was transferred). The r doubles because the stress falls on the second syllable. The construction depends on the meaning. Calls, files and ownership take the passive readily. Changing trains or moving out of a wheelchair is intransitive, so it appears only in active forms: she transferred at the next stop, he had transferred to the sofa.
