(Not a teacher)Have you heard an expression, "He has a short fuse"
(Not a teacher)
Hi, there. Yes, I have.
It means one is bad-tempered, easily irritated.
Hi. I read your post and i can't figure out something. So..he has a short fuse= easily irritated. Nope. 'he has a short fuse= HE IS easily irritated....
Well excuse me..in my languange you can skip some of the pronouns..anyway I do not intend to irritate you..Still, you didn't answer to my question..why it's "easily irritatING" incorrect? Maybe it is just a dumb question for you..Actually in romanian sounds quiet strange that's why i'm keep bugging you with this one..the adverb it is very different from the adjective, though both of them can acompany a verb but adverb suggest something that could happen [in this case the person could become irritated] while the adjective states that the person it is irritated at that moment. Please tell me : english grammar considers "IRRITATED" in this exemple an adverb or an adjective. Bunch of thanks!If you use an "=" sign, both sides of the equation must be syntactically equivalent. Please.
And excuse me - I have a short fuse.

I guess you don't have ADVERB in english?:-" Anyway THANK YOU very much! this was really very helpful.Regards'Irritated' is an adjective, specifically a past participle (formed from a verb, indicating that something has happened). 'Irritating' is also an adjective, specifically a present participle (formed from a verb, indicating that someone or something is doing something). The irritant is irritating; the sufferer of the irritation is irritated. For example, a fly might be irritating - its buzzing may irritate (active) someone. The person is irritated (passive) by the fly. If you exchange 'irritated' for 'irritating', you change the meaning:
A is irritating B => B is being irritated by A.
