So I have a question, I am very unsure how to find the morphosyntactic feature of a word. I have some examples to look at before the upcoming exam.
The sentence is; Germany’s invasion of Belgium shocked everyone.
And of that sentence I am supposed to look at the word, shocked, and pick one out of 6 options to describe it.
1) Past, 1[SUP]st[/SUP] person, plural
2) Past 1[SUP]st[/SUP] person, singular
3) Past 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] person, singular
4) –en participle
5) Infinitive
6) Present, 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] person singular
Now this is just an example, what I would really like to know is how would I go about finding the morphosyntactic feature of a word, what should I be looking at to determine if a word is this or that? I would assume that is this case the answer would be past 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] person, singular. As Belgium becomes it, would that be correct? However I could use the word shocked with just about every combination. So what should I be looking at in a sentence that determines if a word this or that
With regards
