1) The phrase adjective "composed" refers to an item's composition, what it is made of.

2) The adjective compose applied to a person means in command of their faculties, not emotionally upset, normally used in the phrase "calm and composed"

3) The past tense verb "composed" means created or assembled, as in music.

Examples :

  • "The atmosphere is composed of various gases, chiefly nitrogen and oxygen."
  • "The student composed an essay on the atmosphere."
  • "Strauss composed "The Blue Danube" waltz in 1866."
