| Re: Participle as a verb or adjective There it's an adjective. If it were a verb, the order would be different: Mobile was hit the hardest. |

| Re: Participle as a verb or adjective Thanks! So its a participle right? To be honest Im almost always confused as to when a participle is a participle and not just a plain old verb |
