 Adjectives after link verbs 

Mbiemrat pas foljeve lidhëse 

 

   We use some adjectives only after a link verb: 

   Ne përdorim disa mbiemra vetëm pas një foljeje lidhëse: 

 

afraid 
alive 
alone 
asleep 
content 
glad 

ill 
ready 
sorry

   Some of the commonest -ed adjectives are normally used only after a link verb: 

   Disa nga mbiemrat me -ed më të zakonshëm, normalisht përdoren vetëm pas një foljeje lidhëse:

We say:

  • Our teacher was ill. 

  • My uncle was very glad when he heard the news.

but we do not say:
