In the sentence "I like steamed chicken." Steamed is an adjective.



However if I say "The chicken is steamed." Steamed becomes a verb in the passive construct.



And in this sentence, "The chicken has been steamed for hours" It is an passive verb.



Is this correct?



I'm teaching a cooking course to very low level English learners and the construct (be verb and pp) keeps coming up, "the vegetables are steamed, the fish is grilled" So in these simple sentences is the particle an adjective or a verb.



Thank you.
