'Filled' used as a verb or adjective here?
'She stopped on a page filled with small drawings of angels with folded wings.'
My teacher told me that 'filled' is used as a verb in this sentence, but I have a hard time seeing it as anything but an adjective. I.e. 'Theirs was a house filled with laughing', for instance.
I was told that it's because someone had filled the page, so that it could be written as, '... page which was filled with small drawings...'
Is it an adjective or verb here? I have a hard time figuring it out.
