What's wrong with it? Describing Problems Grammar


  • When you are describing problems grammatically you can use past participle as an adjetive to state what the problem is for example: 

The computer is broken
Her dress is stained
The stove is damaged.                           



  • Problems can also be desbribed with nouns for example:

It has a hole in it.
It has a stain in it.
Ther is some damage on it.

  • Problems can be described with the word keep + a ver in gerund for example:

My stove needs adjusting.           My stove needs to be adjusted.
The chair needs fixing.                  The chair needs to be fixed.
