expired vs is expired

Both "expired" and "is expired" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Expired" is commonly used as an adjective to describe something that has reached the end of its validity or usefulness. On the other hand, "is expired" is used in a sentence where the verb "is" is needed to connect the subject to the state of being expired.
