Determine the part of speech for the italicized word in the sentence below. The immaculately (dressed) woman tripped and fell down all of the stairs in the entry way. noun verb adverb adjective preposition interjection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

verb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite, a verb is an action, but the word "dressed" here is being used more as a descriptive word.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

However, "dressed" is not an adjective in this sentence, either. It's a mix of a verb and an adjective. Which description does that fit for your choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adverb?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
