【June·语法】初中生求助这个stated开头的一句话是苏格兰官方旅游网说明的意思吗，这个过去式还是分词是什么个用法鸭

It’s probably just past tense. Because if the website is still up and running, it should be “states”
Put it in active voice, “the website stated” vs “the website states”, what does it tell you?
The former implies that the website used to have this statement but now it is no longer here and the latter implies the statement is still on the website

还有另一个之前阅读做到的例子啦，画波浪hopes的这小句，感觉这两处的用法就像把主语和谓语颠倒了，这是个啥用法耶
