Hello, I wanted to ask: When do I need to use ed? if we don't talk about the past.


For example, this title (title of an article): "Parties: Denied, Dismissed, or
Redundant? A Critique.


What is the meaning of the title and what is the purpose of ed here?


Thanks.
 
The past participles are being used adjectivally.

So, Does ed create in this case adjective?

There are 3,4 interpretations to every word which I mentioned up, how can I know the translation of them?

Thanks.

Is it just me? that think it is impossible to understand the exactly meaning of every word (from the title)without reading the article?
 
Context will usually sort out the difference.

So just by reading can I know the interpretation?

As a native do you understand the interpretation directly or is it sound vague like I am describing?

Thank you.
 
Well, obviously being a native speaker helps. It takes time to learn a language completely.

Hello, I am not native so I need to find the best translation for every word.
For E.X:
Parties: Denied, Dismissed, or
Redundant?
How do you know if the right translation for denied is : canceled or
underprivileged? I can't understand without reading the context. How do you see it?

I am writing the post for improving my English as well as to understand the sentence itself.

Your original post has no context. Even a native speaker cannot know what all the words mean. If you provide context, you will get better answers. We are not mind readers.

Your answer is exactly the answer which I excepted and wanted.
Thank you.
