Is a past participle a verb or an adjective in the passive?
For example, in the statement, "We would have gone if not for the rain," is "gone" a verb, an adjective, or what?
Despite my literature degree, I have no clue. (Truth be told, I had forgotten what a past participle is.) And after a bunch of Googling, I'm no closer to an answer. Any insights?
