Explanation
Closed is the past form of “close”, but also works as an adjective. As a verb (past tense), it means something was shut, like a door or shop. As an adjective, it means not open, not operating, or finished. For example, a “closed shop” means the shop is not open, and a “closed meeting” means only certain people are allowed in. Closed also describes something complete or ended, like a closed deal. It is used often in daily life when talking about shops, offices, or physical objects like windows and doors.
