Learners sometimes confuse "paved" with the verb "pay" and write "payed" instead of "paid". Remember that "paved" is from "pave" (about roads and surfaces), while "paid" is from "pay" (about money). Learners may also forget to include the object and say "They paved yesterday" instead of "They paved the road yesterday."
