Ways to tell them apart:
- Represented is the correct past tense form of the verb represent.
- Representated is a common misspelling and is not an actual word.
- To remember, think about how represent simply adds -ed to form the past tense, like most regular verbs.
- Avoid adding an extra a before the t in represented, as it doesn't fit the regular verb pattern.
- If you see representated, recognize it as an error and use represented instead.
