A verb is an action, occurrence, or state of being. An adjective is a word that describes a noun. If a word is taking on a new role in a sentence, its part of speech changes.
Past and present participles of verbs can function as adjectives, but they're not verbs when they're modifying nouns.
Examples:
Broken is the past participle of break.
- Dave has a broken arm. Broken is describing the noun arm.
- Dave has broken his arm. Broken is a verb. It's in the present perfect tense.
Crying is the present participle of cry.
- The crying baby kept me up all night. Crying is describing the noun baby.
- That baby has been crying all night. Crying is a verb. It's in the present perfect progressive tense.
