What's the difference between find, found, and founded? To differentiate between these three, we need to first know the two different verbs, find and found:

Find

Find usually means to look for or to perceive something. Examples:

     The pirates find the treasure on the island.

     Kim finds the homework questions very challenging.


The past tense of find is found:

     The pirates found the treasure on the island.

     Kim found the homework questions very challenging.


​Found

Found is the past tense of find, but it also is a present-tense, meaning to establish or create (usually referring to a company or organization). The past tense of this verb is founded. Example:

     Bill Gates founded Microsoft in 1975.

     Jeff Bezos founded Amazon in 1994.
