A little about me:
My name's Minoo, and I'm originally from Iran.
I obtained my TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) Diploma in England in 1985.
Since then, I've been an English teacher, teacher trainer, and course director in various schools and countries. I'm also a trained confidence coach.
In 2008, my son, Tom, and I set up the Anglo-Link platform for online English studies.
This led to the creation of our popular KZbin channel in 2011.
My passion is to share with you what I've learnt on my own English language journey, both as a student and as a teacher, so that you can become a fluent speaker of English too.
Join the Anglo-Link Community at app.anglo-link....
Here you will find all the support you need to reach your goal of speaking English with confidence and ease!

What is the difference between ordinary adjective and passive voice Passive voice present simple 'the window is opened every day. Ordinary adjective 'the window is open. You said Our seats are booked is Participle adjective, is this present simple passive voice as well?

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, but you would have to say or imply that it is a repetitive action: Our seats are booked every Friday.

[@loydsevilla146]

@@AngloLinkEnglish you forgot to answer my question, what is the difference between ordinary adjective and passive voice Passive voice present simple 'the window is opened every day. Ordinary adjective ' the window is open.? Is this interchangebly? Are there both in meaning? When should use the ordinary adjective? Thanks

[@loydsevilla146]

@@AngloLinkEnglish are all participle adjective can be considered present simple passive voice and vice versa?

[@Eun-kyongEnglish]

Thanks for your lecture~! I have one question! How can I distinguish the difference between past participle in passive voice and past voice as adjective? In a sentence 'I was surprised' is 'surprised ' passive voice or adjective ?? It's so confusing!! Thank you in advance!!

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

Yes, it is confusing. All past participle adjectives come from an implicit passive voice structure: Something surprised me. >> I was surprised.

[@englishfootballfan1730]

Thank you for the wonderful explanation. Could you please tell me which one is correct? Call the ambulance ! Two boys are injured / have been injured in an accident.

[@AngloLinkEnglish]

You're welcome! In this context, because you're mentioning the accident, I would prefer the passive structure: Two boys have been injured in the accident. If we were just describing the state of the people without reference to the cause, I would use the participle adjective: Two boys are seriously injured; others are slightly injured.

English is good language but doesn't think there is any reason for me to speak English as it is breaking and disrespecting my own language but also my people I saw telling difference in between the languages but every language has his own beauty do you agree with me

Certainly, Abhishek! Every language has its own beauty.
