title: Confusion between adjective and participle
body: <p>Consider the three sentences: 1. The experienced pain is acute. 2. Experienced candidates are invited to apply. 3. This candidate is experienced in all phases of SDLC.</p>
  
  <p>In sentence 1, what is actually meant is: "the pain that is experienced" and not, repeat not, "pain having experience". In sentences 2 and 3, what is meant is: "candidates having experience".</p>
  
  <p>In sentence 1, the word 'experienced' does not work as an adjective but works as a participle. In sentences 2 and 3, the word essentially functions as an adjective.</p>
  
  <p>However, the Stanford POS-Tagger does exactly the opposite: it tags the word as "JJ" in sentence 1 and "VBN" in sentences 2 and 3.</p>
  
  <p>The problem seems to arise mainly because the word 'experience' in English is both a noun and a verb.</p>
