Alphabetical neighbours from the same verb list — useful when you are revising a range, not just one verb.
V1 (base form) is pay, V2 (past simple) is paid, and V3 (past participle) is paid. The -ing form is paying and the he / she / it form is pays.
It is recorded as a irregular verb in this table. Its V2 form is paid, not payed — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it easy.
V2 stands alone in the past simple — Paid at six. V3 is never used on its own: it follows has / have / had in the perfect tenses, and am / is / are / was / were in the passive voice.
It means भुगतान करना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
