In Focus Three, Adjective Participles in Contrast to Stative Passives, form and meaning are considered as learners read that the forms are similar, yet the meanings are different. Adjective participles express feelings and can be modified by the intensifier very . Exercise Four then asks learners to compare the tenses found in statives and adjective participles. Once learners deduce a rule, they are to test it on the example sentences in Focus Two and Focus Three. Exercise Five then asks learners to identify statives and adjective participles in an example paragraph.
Learners then identify the descriptive purpose of each stative in Exercise Six.
Exercise Seven consists of matching words or phrases from one column with phrases in another column that relate rhetorically. After matching, learners produce sentences from the matched pairs by supplying stative verbs. The final Focus Box, Focus Five, Stative Passives in Relative Clauses, again considers form. Exercise Eight involves correcting sentences which contain relative clauses that have stative passive forms. Exercise Nine requires learners to edit a paragraph.
