Grammar > Easily confused words > Open or opened? We use open as an adjective to mean 'not closed': I stopped the car when I realised that the door was open. Not: … that the door was opened.

ajar (adv.) "slightly open, neither open nor shut," 1718, also on a jar, on the jar, perhaps from Scottish dialectal a char "turned a little way," earlier on char (mid-15c.) "on the turn (of a door or gate)," from Middle English char "a turn," from Old English cier "a turn" (see chore).
If a door is ajar, it is slightly open: We left the door ajar so that we could hear what they were saying.
Why does it say door ajar?
Most cars today have a “door ajar” warning light on their dashboards. When the system is working properly, the light lets you know that one or more of your doors is either open or not closed securely. On some vehicles, the trunk lid, rear hatch and even the hood can be part of the system.
This may refer to generally agreed-upon sequences of sounds used in speaking a given word or language in a specific dialect ("correct" or "standard" pronunciation) or simply the way a particular individual speaks a word or language. Words' pronunciations can be found in reference works such as dictionaries.
The past tense of open the door is opened the door. The third-person singular simple present indicative form of open the door is opens the door. The present participle of open the door is opening the door.
“Open” is a regular verb, which means you can build the past tense form of the verb (sometimes called “verb 2”) and the past participle (sometimes called “verb 3”) by simply adding “-ed” to the end of the word. So, the past tense form of “to open” (sometimes called “verb 2”) is “opened.”
opened - Simple English Wiktionary.
