Participial adjectives – A1–C1
This pack teaches participial adjectives across A1–C1 levels — words like working, leading, or fascinated that come from verbs but describe people and situations as adjectives. You'll learn to tell apart feeling-causing forms (thrilling, exhausting, heartbreaking) from feeling-experiencing ones (fascinated), a distinction that trips up many learners. Among the 35 words you'll find everyday character traits (good-looking, hard-working, easy-going) alongside more formal terms common in news writing (so-called, estimated, proposed). This vocabulary set follows the topic from beginner all the way to advanced level.
