Ways to tell them apart:

- Remember that bound rhymes with ground and both indicate something being firmly in place.
- While binded sounds like it could be right, English often has irregular verbs, so bind becomes bound.
- Think of a bound book; its secure and neatly held together, much like how bound' is the right fit for the past tense.
