MAGIC THE GATHERING creature abilities ?

Question

If a creature has an abillity such as pay 3 and regenerate target creature, does this mean that this ability will work even if the creature holding this ability is tapped (the ablility doesnt require tapping)? or does it mean that the creature with the ability cant play the ability because its tapped? THANK YOU

Answer 1

If it says 3: Regenerate target creature. You can use this if its tapped.

If it says 3T: Regenerate target creature. And its tapped you cannot use the ability.

Answer 2

As long as the ability doesn't require that the creature be tapped then you can use the ability.
