Both in Dutch and English, there are many ways in which verbs can be part of adjectives or adverbs:
voorspelbaar | predictable | spraakzaam | talkative
slapeloos | sleepless | vervelend | annoying
dromerig | dreamy | bewerkelijk | elaborate
To form a verb-based adjective, we can add suffixes like -baar, -zaam, -ig, etc. Here, we will discuss two types of verb-based adjectives: the [gerund](#/lesson/Verbs.Ot08) and the [verbable](#/lesson/Verbs.Ot09).
