[@Zhang.Zhang_]

Hello sir, May I ask a question. How can I know it is a passive sentence or not if it the sentence is used-ed adjective. Example: “He was interested. He was killed.”

[@badruddinhussain1662]

Good

[@alexthai2456]

if a word that end with ing, how are we gonna know it's an adjective or it's a present continuing verb tense???

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Through the context of the sentence

[@HAVANA-ee1yw]

So you will always used ED to subject and ING for object

[@mapleleafesl6162]

To describe the subject and object, yes.

[@maths1832]

The door is closed.. in this sentence used closed not close why? Please reply sir . Your explation is too goog

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Because 'closed' is its state, so we're not referring to an action. 'Please close the door' highlights the action, but 'the window is closed' show its current state.

[@jerrilynrodriguez6604]

I am learning more with him then when i learn with my teacher😂

[@mapleleafesl6162]

Glad to hear it!

[@manojkumar-sy9yr]

'coming soon film ' is right ?

[@mapleleafesl6162]

'Coming soon' only, not 'coming soon film'.
