'Open' can be adjective or verb. I copied the following definitions from a dictionary (Longman Illustrated Dictionary for Today's children).
open (1) adjective-ready for business e.g This shop is open at ten in the morning
(2) verb-to be ready for business e.g What time does the bank open?
I wonder if the following sentences are correct if I change the adjective to verb or vice versa.
1. This shop opens at ten in the morning (I use the verb 'open' instead of the adjective 'open')
2. What time is the bank open? (I use the adjective 'open' instead of the verb 'open')
Thanks for your help!
