Q:

"Broadcast" or "broadcasted"

I'm not a native English speaker, so sorry if this is a very basic question. Is broadcast a verb? If it is, what is the simple past and past participle: broadcasted?

A:

Yes, broadcast is a verb, and Dictionary.com says either broadcast or broadcasted is acceptable as the simple past and past participle.
However, this Ngram shows that broadcast is by far the preferred version.

A study on this very issue can be found here.
