Past participles as adjectives
In the example soyez decus, the past participle operates as an adjective . Are there any restrictions on this use? Is it possible to use any past participle that fits the bill?
This question relates to:French lesson "De peur que + ne explétif + the subjunctive mood (Le Subjonctif) = for fear that in French"

Bonjour Jennifer !
Yes indeed, just like in English, French past participles can be used as adjectives:
"Les enfants sont fatiguÉS." -> The children are tirED.
However, remember that as any French adjective, they need to agree in gender and number with the thing they refer to :)
I hope that's helpful!
