Who is the verb (2nd or 3rd in these two sentences?

  1. It is the most trusted company
  2. I is a branded shirt

Do these two sentences use the past or past participle? Which is the official verb in English?

I often come across similar sentences in my life where I also get confused with which form is used.

Can a verb be seen in a dictionary as the past participle and the past tense in both cases?

The linking and the verb are in your two sentences. (English)? After linking verbs you can use both adjective and noun phrases to promote communication. The important thing is that a past participle can play three main different roles:

  • they can be an adjective (both attributive and predicative)

For example, this book is invaluable; here invaluable is an adjective He is an old friend. We are with him.

  • Why are the buildings that are constructed by the

    company or given to them as a verb?

  • Having walked for a while, he returned to the house. They

    can be used in adverbial clauses, adjectival clauses, and phrases

In your question, the trusted and branded are adjectives.


Besides, I think it is important to mention that the superlative and comparative forms for such adjectives are constructed using most and more.
