ABSTRACT
Adjective is one of the most important parts of English grammar, it describes
or modifies noun. Present and past participle adjectives are made from verbs. Many
students are still confused in using present and past participle adjectives due to the
two different types of participle mean completely different things. If the students are
not carefull in using present or past participle adjectives, it will not express the
intended meaning. Therefore, the students have to understand well the use of present
and past participle adjectives in their sentence or conversation. Considering
completely different meaning between present and past context, this study is intended
to investigate the students’ ability in using present and past participle adjectives at
English Department of UMM.
