How is the meaning of the "continued" formed in its ending in ed?
Hello,
In "the continued success of the war", I don't know what is the way in which the meaning of the "continued" is formed in its ending in ed.
CJ suggested ed-----comng in from the outside to the inside <<<<<
But I don't know how to apply it to this phrase.
If anybody could clear it up to me, I will be grateful.
Thank you for your help.

I think it is the writer's view: he has seen that the success has continued from the past to the point of reference (past or present). 'Continuing' is also possible, but would only refer to the time from the past till now.

Hi,
Thanks a lot MM.
Oh, the factor of time must be considered in the use of ed.
If I say : thank you for your continued help, is it ok?
Is the reason for why use ed even with "the continued sucess of the war"?
Is another like the below the same as the aboe?
[The dollar remained high because of the continued strength of the US economy.]

Well, I lost more conundrum of me those are "learned professor", a publisher of learned works, advanced study. Why must use ed here?-- Besides the fact that 'learned' (2 syllables') is a full adjective now, s/he is a professor, so s/he has already learned and is no longer learning.

Hello MM,
Although I made a same guess at it but I am not sure if the guess is correct.
Thank you that you ellaborate on "learned professor".
You left another ed of "a publisher of learned works" and "advanced study".
In my dictionary defines this "learned" with "of / for advanced study".
But they can not make sense to me.
Please tell me the r

The dictionary seems to make it clear:
1. having much knowledge; scholarly; erudite: learned professors.
2. having or showing profound knowledge; connected or involved with the pursuit of knowledge, especially of a scholarly nature: a learned journal.

Hello,
Thank you for your trying to do a good communication to me.
The adjectives which end in ed show that the noun they describe have or show something learned or through a learning.
The man has or shows something or knowledge which he has had himself learn , that is outside to knowledge.
As CJ suggestions , ed------coming in from the outside to the inside; h

The student has advanced to that high level of study. That level has already been classified as 'advanced' by the university, etc.
Remember that there are two viewpoints to consider:
1. CJ's comment that '-ed' is coming from an external source onto the modified noun.
And/or
2. '-Ed' is a finished condition as opposed to '-ing', which is a condition in process.

Mister MicawberAnd/or2. '-Ed' is a finished condition as opposed to '-ing', which is a condition in process.Hi MM,
I referenced the definition of "finished" and rephrased it this way:
"-Ed" shows that the noun they describe is at the end of an activity, realationship.
"-Ing" shows that the noun they describe is at the beginning of a
