Talk:stained

Categorial status

@Pacostein: has added an adjective form which seems like just the past participle in attributive modifier function. Stained is marginal as an adjective. Consider the following, all of which have at least one hit in COCA, but not many. They're all questionable for me.

1. It's too stained to wear.
2. It's very stained.
3. It seems stained.
4. It became stained.
