A quick question.
No dog is allowed.
His life has been complicated
Shall be punished
They are all adjective right ?
I know it doesn't mean past tense, but I don't know why and when to use them. Also why are they always leaded by the word : is/be/been ?
I need a good explaination, and thanks for help.
