This is a tricky one because "tried" is both the past tense and past participle of the verb "to try." It's pronounced the same as the word "tried," even though they have different meanings.
For example:
* Tried: "I tried to call you, but your phone was busy." (past tense)
* Tried: "I have tried everything, but nothing works." (past participle)
