Is rattling a verb?

According to several online dictionaries: no. It is only an adverb or adjective I would have thought so, but... >_< It depends: "rattling" can be a verb, but it is not always a verb. "Rattling" is the present participle of the verb "rattle". It is used as a verb in sentences like, "The flimsy door was rattling in the wind." It can also be used as a noun (this is called a gerund), in sentences like "The constant rattling of the screen was annoying." And, as the first answerer noted, it can be used as an adjective: The rattling windows were a sign that the wind was getting stronger. One dictionary gave "a rattling good time" as an example of using "rattling" as an adverb, but this usage is not common.
