A "verby adjective" is a ...

Answer explanation

Participles, unlike proper verbs, have adjective endings, NOT verb endings.

Answer explanation

Perfect Passive Participles (PPPs) can be used with a form of sum, es, est... to make the Perfect Passive tense:

e.g. necatus - having been killed

necatus est - he was killed.

To form a Pluperfect Passive verb, we push the form of sum one step into the past, i.e. the imperfect tense:

necatus - having been killed

necatus est - he was killed

necatus erat - he had been killed
