  1. those are verbs...


  2. ^^,  I'm going to say again that they're verbs. Action words.

    1st sentence: My mobile is not charged. The complete verb here is "is charged", "is" being the linking verb and "charged" the main verb.

    2nd sentence: I am getting bored. Here, the complete verb phrase is "am getting bored". Am = linking verb, bored = main verb. "Getting" functions as a modal even though it is not an actual modal. This might sound confusing, but the verb "get" may sometimes be used as a substitute for a modal. It is not used as a participle here because in this case, it indicates the condition of the speaker (in the process of getting bored) or the severity of the situation.

    3rd sentence: Discipline should be maintained. Again, a modal was used in this sentence, though the modal used is an actual one.

    4th sentence: This sentence is like the 2nd one, just in the future tense and is a negative statement.

  3. No they are actually -"verbs". They are linked with actions i.e something which is hapenning with vibrance !. Also they are not adjectives which are meant to describe  describe an event (that has happened).  


  4. no they are verbs. you know action words. not adjectives adjectives describe something. (what, how much stuff like that)  

  5. the words in the brackets are not adjectives, adjectives describe nouns.
