So, I'm not a massive grammar/vocab buff, but I am interested. Here I've noticed that there's a separate entry for Adjective and Verb, where it has 'Past Participle' under verb. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't participles adjectives formed from verbs (and past participles adjectives formed from the past tense of a verb)? Davecw (talk) 14:47, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No; for example, past participles of intransitive verbs cannot be used as adjectives. Mglovesfun (talk) 15:06, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
