Poison or Poisoned
Hi
Could you please tell me which of the sentences is better?
He shot a poisoned arrow into the animal's leg.
He shot a poison arrow into the animal's leg.
They bought a king-sized bed.
They bought a king-size bed.
Thanks,
Tom
PS: I don't think 'two-bedroomed apartment' would work at all?

The forms without "ed" are generally better in this configuration. Of your examples with "ed", only "poisoned" seems all right with me. CJ

I saw 'king-sized headache' somewhere, so I decided to ask. But it could be a typo.
