Grammar
Ragged & rag
Hello, teachers!
Would you help me with this, please?
- Clutching a ragged/rag doll in one hand, a poor girl was walking down the street weeping.
In this sentence, I think both 'ragged' and 'rag' are acceptable but the meanings are different. Am I right?
Thank you very much.
Peace!

"ragged" is an adjective meaning "worn" or "used". A "rag doll" is a specific type of doll, I believe, while a "ragged doll" can mean any kind of doll which is worn or used.
