Past tense verbs can be used as adjectives. This is used to describe an object which the action applied to.
Examples:
This car crashed. == This is a crashed car.
This vase cracked. == This is a cracked vase.
This test was graded. == This is a graded test.
This also works with present tense verbs that end in -ing.
This girl is walking. == This is a walking girl.
This bear is frightening me. == This is a frightening bear.
This light is flickering. == This is a flickering light.
I hope this helped :)
