simple past tense and past participle of love
"She loved that old song so much she sang it every time she drove to work."
In plain English: To love someone means to care about them deeply and want the best for them.
"She loved playing with her puppy every afternoon after school."
Usage: Use "loved" to describe an action or feeling that occurred in the past or has been experienced up to now. It functions as the simple past tense for completed actions, such as "I loved that movie," and as the past participle in perfect tenses, like "She has always been loved."
Being the object of love.
"After years of neglect, the stray dog was finally loved by a kind family who took him home."
In plain English: Loved means being cared for and cherished deeply by someone you are close to.
"She is such a loved member of our family."
Usage: The past tense verb "loved" should not be used as an adjective to describe someone who receives affection; instead, use "beloved" or phrases like "much loved." Saying he is "loved" incorrectly treats a verb form as a descriptive state when the intended meaning is that he is cherished.
The word "loved" comes from the Old English verb lufian, which meant to cherish or have affection for someone. It entered Middle English as a regular past tense form before becoming the standard past participle we use today.
