The past tense form of the word "damage" is "damaged". The simple past tense usually ends in -ed in English. So, when an action is completed, as in causing damage, we say it was damaged. For example, "The hurricane damaged the coastline." This structure helps us understand actions that have happened in the past and their consequences. Isn't language fantastic, it's like a time machine letting us revisit history in the present!
