Adjectives that come from verbs are called participle adjectives. These are verb forms ending in -ing (present participles) or -ed and -en (past participles) that are used to modify nouns.

Verbs that turn into adjectives...

​I felt so frustrated during the exam, I couldn't answer anything.

The exam was so frustrating, we hadn't practiced any of it in class.

​That song is so annoying, it gets on my nerves.

I was really annoyed by his careless attitude.

Match

Match the adjectives with the rules they follow

• present participle
  (-ing)

• past participle

  (-ed)

• We usually place adjectives

• If we use a linking verb our adjective should go

describe a thing
(eg. Her smile was stunning)

describe someone's feelings
(eg. He was stunned by her beauty)

in front of the noun they describe.

after the verb.

• describe a thing
  (eg. Her smile was stunning)

• describe someone's feelings
  (eg. He was stunned by her beauty)

• in front of the noun they describe.

• after the verb.

Idioms

In spoken English, we often use idioms. These are a group of words whose meaning together is different from what the words would mean individually.
