completed

"Completed" is the past tense and past participle of the verb "complete." It has a couple of closely related but distinct uses — as a verb describing a finished action, and as an adjective describing a finished state. It's a very common, everyday word you'll encounter constantly.

1verbfinished doing something

When you completed something, you finished it — you did everything that needed to be done and nothing is left. Think of it as reaching the final step of a task and crossing it off your list.

3adjectivefully finished, with nothing missing

When you use 'completed' as an adjective, you are describing something that is fully done — it has all its parts and nothing is missing or unfinished. It describes the state of the thing, not the action of finishing it.
