'resulting damage' vs. 'resulted damage'



Dictionary says 'RESULT' is intransitive verb.


So the following sentence is correct.


• It was a large explosion and the resulting damage was extensive.


But sometimes there appears 'resulted' also.

Is "the 'resulted' damage" possible in the above sentence?

If so, can you tell me the reason?

I think you are wrong in saying that I posted this question before.

I did twice post questions about the 'transitive' vs. 'intransitive' verbs - face & apply - before.

But not this verb 'result.'

No, that's okay.

It's really hard for non-native speaker to try to get a grasp on the verb's transitivity or intransitivity or both.

Give me your precious answer. Thanks.

I solved half of my problem with reading books. It is hard to tell you but you just get accustomed to the sentences and feel the right form of the sentences after a while without memorizing anything. And, I think the best way to learn them is to look them up in the dictioanary because though some verbs may have the same meaning whether they have an object ot not, others completely change.

Thanks for your advice, Doll.

I'll keep it in my mind.

Thanks.

(But you know in Korea,

This kind of tricky grammer questions are presented to the students, which I think is really absurd.

So sometimes I'll post verb problem of whether a verb is active verb, or passive verb.

I hope your good advice again.

Thanks again.
