文法_動詞改成形容詞

利用分詞(現在分詞和過去分詞)與不定詞
現在分詞 = 動詞+ing
a crying baby / a similing girl / an exciting story / running water / a running boy/ a rising star
現在分詞不一定要放在名詞前面,亦可放在名詞後面
a person walking in the woods / the young man running very fast / people living in Taiwan
EX:

Seeing(N) is believing(adj.).
Loving is forgiving.

過去分詞當形容詞
a broken window / a fallen angel / a fallen star / a depressed person / a much appreciated action
過去分詞多半有被動或是已經完成的意思
