Grammar question?
 

I posted in a MS thread that I was contented with my life ... When I read it later, it looked and sounded incorrect to me. So I changed it to I am content with my life ... Then I did a google search and discovered a disagreement over which would be the correct form to use.

So would you use the word contented or content?

I also mentioned in my other post how I worry about everything:o:D.

I think content is correct, but either or could work. I think content ed is redundant..:D

I wouldn't worry about it, just be content with contented and stop worrying

How about "satisfied"?:)

Both are correct. Content is a verb (I am content) and contented is a noun (state of being - contented).

(I cheated and used dictionary dot com.)

C

could "contented" be past tense?

I was contented until you had to ask that question!

C

Not to be picky, but I think when used in a sentence such as "I am content", they are both adjectives and synonymous.

You can also use content as a verb: "I'll content myself with this"...

I'm a stickler for grammar, too, Barb.

I've never used "contented". I've always thought "content" was used exclusively for both present and past tense. I learned something new!
:)

I don't think I am satisfied. I would like to make changes.:rolleyes:

I must need a "happiness check" . . . I haven't used the words "contented" or "content" in a long, long time . . . :(

instead of content, resigned? Come to terms with the life I am living?

stuck in a dam rabbit hole and cannot find Alice or that smiling cat and the Mad Hatter did not invite me to tea?

I am soooo contented to be so content..:D
