You only used it as an adj. once...all the rest were verbs.

And actually, when I thought it was an adj. it was really a passive verb.

My first instinct was that it was a verb. But when I looked up similar words in similar contexts, like "the intersection was blocked," the dictionary said "blocked" was an adjective... so I don't know... I made a weak attempt to put Ex #1 in the active voice, but couldn't do it in 30 seconds, so I just left it. Looking back at 2 & 3, you're right, no doubt about it, that's a verb.

Okay, I went back and f-ed with the post. Looking back, I still maintain that as a state of being, it's an adjective. Like being hungry, or being backed up.

It's a verb functioning as an adjective.

For example:
Vanessa is bored by my blog.
My blog bores Vanessa.

I am hungry.

Can't change hungry to a verb.




Maybe this is why I'm single?

Damnit.

Shannon said...

Yeah! Who cockblogged your tall blog??!

Cladeedah said...

Your mom!

Shannon said...

My mom's dead.

Cladeedah said...

Yeah, I know.

Speaking of hungry, did you know that only the words "hungry" and "angry" end in "-gry"?
