Ways to tell them apart:
- Fit is used as the present tense of the verb, meaning to be suitable or of the right size.
- Fitted is the past tense and past participle of the verb ‘fit’, used to describe something that has already been made to the correct size or shape.
- In some English-speaking regions, fit can also be used as the past tense, but fitted is generally more widely accepted in standard English.
- When talking about a person in good physical shape, both fit and fitted can be correct, but context matters.
- Think of fitted like a tailor who already finished adjusting a garment to the correct size.
