2. Adjectives from Verbs

Now let’s see some examples of sentences with both verb and adjective forms:

She obeys the teacher. –> She is obedient to the teacher.

We enjoyed the weekend very much. –> The weekend was very enjoyable.

Mary talks too much, doesn’t she? –> Mary’s very talkative, isn’t she?

3. Adjectives from Verbs: -ed/-ing

Another way to form adjectives from verbs is to use the past or present participles of the verbs,

that is, their “-ed” or “-ing” forms. For instance:

to amuse –> amused (past participle) / amusing (present participle)
