What kind of error is it?
Grammar error involving incorrect verb conjugation
Why do people make this mistake?
This error occurs because "weighted" is mistakenly used as the past tense of "weigh," which is incorrect due to confusion with other regular verbs that form the past tense by adding "-ed".
What is correct?
The correct past tense of the verb "weigh" is "weighed," not "weighted."
Examples of correct usage
