Re: summered animals
You also say ,what is summered animals
See following sentence
1-Animals are wintered inside on straw. (Winter means- to keep animal some where
during winter)
In same way ,we can also write
Animals are summered inside . (Summer- to keep animals somewhere during
summer)
So from there i used summered animals.
next you say
reporters saw a group of people who have been terrorized .(according to you, it
should be)
Sir i also agree to it but why (reporters have seen a group of terrorized people) is wrong
There are following some sentences .According to you all must be wrong
1- They found a murdered boy inside building.
2- Frightened birds were kept in cage by Fowler .
But these two sentences are perfectly correct then why mine.
According to you,i think it should be like this
they found a boy who has been murdered
Fowler kept birds which were frightened
But sir my written sentences are also perfectly correct.
Please sir
i think now you must have got my problem .please solve it.
NOT A TEACHER
(1) I am disappointed that no teachers have answered you (and me) yet. :-(
(2) Let me share a few ideas (these are
not answers).
(3) I apologize for not making my ideas clearer.
(4) You are 100% correct: The reporters saw some
terrorized people.
I was trying to explain that the sentence was probably a shorter way to
say "The reporters saw some people who had been
terrorized."
(a) In other words, English often lets you take a past participle and use it as an
adjective.
(i) For example: King X is
beloved by his people. We can also say: The
beloved
king will speak to his people tonight."
(5) Yes, "The
murdered boy was only 18 years old" is a perfect sentence. I was
just trying to explain that the long way to say this would be: The boy who was
murdered was only ...."
(6) Regarding "summered animals," I shall only say this: As you know, in the year of
2011, there are many English
es. That is, people in the world speak different kinds of
English. If English-speaking people in your country are comfortable with "summered animals,"
then it is correct for them. (I think that almost all Americans would not say "summered
animals"). Personally, I like "Animals are summered inside." That's a nice way to
use the English language. Americans might not use that kind of sentence, but as I said there are now many English
es.

(7) Last night, I thought about your "stormed building" question. Here are a few comments (
not answers):
(a) It seems that the past participles of some verbs can
not be used as an adjective.
You can say "The building was
stormed by the terrorists," but I do not think that you can say "Many people were inside the
stormed building." It just doesn't sound right -- at least to me.
You would have to find another past participle. Maybe something like:
Fifteen minutes ago, 100 terrorists
stormed the embassy and took control of it.
Army troops have just arrived and are surrounding the
captured building.
