Died or Dead

[hanky]

Hello,
Is this acceptable to use "died link" instead of "dead link" to mean the link is no longer available?
Thanks a lot.

No. The adjective is 'dead'. "Died' isn't used that way.

No. The adjective is 'dead'. "Died' isn't used that way.

So, could you please tell me when "died" is used as an adjective? Thanks.

It isn't used as an adjective. "Dyed" is an adjective, "the man with dyed hair" for example.

You can also use broken link.

Dead (without live) is not a good adjective for link.
I depends on what 'link' you're talking about of course.
You can use invalid/inoperative/obsolete.

hi,

Please note I'm not a teacher nor a native speaker.

There is a phrasal verb "die out" that I think could possibly be used as an adjective but not in your example anyway.

Cheers
