Words That Function as Adjeetives

Other parts of speech can function as adjectives, modifying a noun or pronoun:

•    A noun + a preposition + another noun.

Rompi la copa de cristal.    I broke the ery stal stem glass.

(/Te gusta mi collar de perlas?    Do you like my pearl necklace?

•    Most past participles can complement a noun and function as adjectives. Remember that the regular past participles end in -ado and -ido and that many commonly used verbs have irregular participles. Consult Unit 10 and the Yerb Tables at the back of this book for past participles.
