The Adjectives come after the past tense forms of ‘to be’, ‘was’ and ‘were’ because we mainly use past tense in narrating a story. Look at the following examples:

• The Ugly Duckling was sad. Nobody wanted to be his friend

(Showing the Ugly Duckling’s feeling sad).

• The yellow ducklings were not happy to see the Ugly Duckling

(Showing the yellow ducklings’ feeling unhappy).

The Adjectives can also come after some other ‘verbs’. The most common verbs are ‘feel’ and ‘become’.

These verbs should also be in their past tense forms: ‘felt’ (past tense of ‘feel’), and ‘became’ (past tense of ‘become’).

• The Ugly Duckling felt heartbroken

(Showing the Ugly Duckling’s feeling heartbroken).
