involved vs was involved

Both "involved" and "was involved" are correct, but they are used in different contexts. "Involved" is the past participle form of the verb "involve" and can be used on its own or with auxiliary verbs like "has" or "had." On the other hand, "was involved" is the past tense of the verb "involve" combined with the auxiliary verb "was." The choice between the two depends on the sentence structure and the tense being used.
