B. Word Study: The Anglo-Saxon suffix -en can sometimes mean “made from or of” and can be used to forms adjectives from nouns. For instance, the adjective earthen means “made from or of the earth.” The suffix -en can also be used to form the irregular past participle of certain verbs, such as beat, with its past participle beaten. The past participle can then be used not only as a verb but also as an adjective, as in walking down a beaten path. Below, write a sentence for each of the following words, in each case using the word as an adjective.
