用法筆記

The word 'planned' is the same spelling for both the simple past (e.g. 'She planned the trip') and the past participle (e.g. 'The trip was planned'). It is an irregular-looking verb but follows the regular -ed pattern — the doubled 'n' comes from the stress pattern of 'plan' (one syllable ending in consonant-vowel-consonant).

常見錯誤

❌She planed the party last week.
✅She planned the party last week.
💡'planed' is a different word (to smooth wood). Double the 'n' before adding -ed for 'plan'.
❌I have plan to visit Taipei.
✅I have planned to visit Taipei.
💡after 'have', use the past participle 'planned', not the base form 'plan'.
