Annoyed

Is it okay to place 'annoyed' where I have?

She put the phone down annoyed and walked toward her room.

  

Top answer

The juxtaposition of the descriptive participle annoy ed and the Simple Past verb walked makes the sentence awkward. It's better to say Annoyed, she put the phone down and walked toward her room. Clive
