Asked by Anonymous

is the word "traversed" an adjective or a verb?
Answered by Ms. Sue
It's usually a verb. But a word's part of speech depends upon how it's used in the sentence.

Verbs show action or state of being. Adjectives describe or modify nouns.

Ms. Sue is right. Almost all the time, it'll be a verb ... with its own subject. If it's used as an adjective, though, it's known as a participle.
