Usage tips
Participle as an adjective
'Verwendet' (used) is the past participle of the verb 'verwenden' (to use). Before a noun, it can be accompanied by longer details about place, time, or people; these details come before 'verwendet' (used).
EXAMPLE
Die in unserem Kurs verwendeten Bücher kannst du in der Bibliothek ausleihen.
You can borrow the books used in our course from the library.
Purpose with für
You can use 'für' (for) with the accusative to indicate what purpose something serves. With 'verwendet' (used), this purpose phrase often appears within a word group before the noun.
EXAMPLE
Die für den Unterricht verwendeten Bilder stammen aus alten Zeitungen.
The pictures used for the lesson come from old newspapers.
Typical collocations
'Verwendet' (used) is often modified by 'häufig' (frequently) or 'selten' (rarely) to indicate how often something is used. With 'bisher' (so far) or 'ursprünglich' (originally), you can indicate the temporal context instead.
EXAMPLE
Am Ende des Buches werden häufig verwendete Abkürzungen erklärt.
Abbreviations frequently used are explained at the end of the book.
