The wall is tapestry.The wall is tapestried.
被动结构需要过去分词，tapestry 是名词或动词原形，其过去分词为 tapestried，不能直接用名词形式表示被动。
They tapestryed the wall last year.They tapestried the wall last year.
动词 tapestry 以辅音字母 y 结尾，构成过去式时须将 y 改为 i 再加 ed，故为 tapestried，而非 tapestryed。

Learner notes
Memory Tip
联想tapestry里的tape（彩带）交织成挂毯，用来装饰墙壁——动词即“用挂毯装饰”。
Context & Register
语域：formal 常见场景：literary description、historical narrative tapestry 作动词时比较书面或文雅，多用于文学或历史描写，日常口语中较少见；若要表达实际的挂毯装饰，可考虑用 decorate with tapestries 等更常见的说法。
Grammar Note
及物动词，宾语是被装饰的处所或物体，不是挂毯本身；如 The hall was tapestried with hunting scenes.
Pronunciation & Spelling
The -stry words share the final spelling and the /stri/ sound with tapestry, but they do not rhyme because the stressed vowel differs. Watch out: tape is spelled like the beginning of tapestry but is pronounced /teɪp/, while the first syllable of tapestry is /tæp/, as in tap.
