Is Excited An Adjective

hi there. a pretty interesting question you asked. firstly, look at these sentences: the scared child looked up. the excited people enjoyed the concert. here we find that these words describe nouns. so they are adjectives. coming to them being 'verbs'.. well verbs are those words which describe action or the state in which you are. now, take a look at this : I am happy. of course happy is an adjective here. check this out: I am scared. thus, here scared will be an adjective too! compare it with the above sentence. so they are adjectives!! :). hope this helped!

'Scared' and 'Excited' are adjectives because they describe a noun. E.G: The scared child shivered. The excited dog is jumping up and down. BTW, a verb is a action(sing, talk, run), a noun is a thing, a person or a place(chair, fork, laptop) and a pronoun is a word that is used to indicate someone or something that is already known (I, this, he) Happy to help! :))

adjective. An adjective is when you describe something like happy, or sad, or blue. A verb asserts something about the subject of the sentence and express actions, events, or states of being like 'bites' 'plants' 'run', a verb is a doing word:D

Depends on the usage. Excited may be past tense of to excite, or it may be the past participle, which functions as an adjective.
For example:
Verb-- The presents excited the children.
Adjective--The children, excited by the presents, shouted with glee.

Adjective. It describes something. To be excited...be is the verb.

BOTH.
The woman was excited when she saw me. Adjective.
The woman was excited by me. Verb.
I excited the woman. Verb.
Hope that's clear. Don't listen to the people who say it's one or the other.
B well.

adjective.
If a group of words containing a subject and verb acts as an adjective, it is ... We were excited by the lion-tamer. We were excited about the high-wire act, too. ...
