Answer:

Poor you! I’m really sorry that simple, easy-to-understand English grammar has become so confusing these days. Your biggest problem is that there are too many self-called experts. Forget all these crazy terms and just concentrate on learning the language.

Your question is simple if you strip away all the crazy jargon.

Look at your sentence and determine what you already know.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

subject- a rolling stone + verb- gathers + object-no moss

Your question has to do with the subject part, so let’s look at that more closely.

A rolling stone

We know that ‘a’ is an article and that ‘stone’ is a noun. What words can possibly come between an article and a noun? There’s only one answer…an adjective.

Compare—A black dog—a rolling stone

I think that the one of the biggest problems in discussing English grammar today is that there are far too many terms flying around with no consensus about their use.

First, you need to understand that there is grammar for the average Joe and then there is grammar for linguists. Unless both people discussing the grammar are certified, qualified, degree-holding linguists, let’s just use the average Joe terms.

A participle, in English, can be present (any verb with an -ing ending) or past, (any regular verb with an -ed ending, or any irregular verb with the 3rd part you learn in those infamous lists, such as ‘drunk’ in ‘drink-drank-drunk’)

That’s the general category. Under the general category of participle there are some different functions that participles can do.

They can function as verbs. (Completely forget the term ‘verbal’. It’s a linguists term and you don’t need it.)

He is walking

He walked.

They can function as gerunds (which are really just nouns; nouns, just plain old nouns—nevermind all this rot about verbal nouns. That’s just garbage.)

I like swimming.

And they can function as adjectives. (This is your answer, once again.)

The drunk man stumbled home.

A rolling stone gathers no moss.

They also play other roles in sentence structure, but that isn’t relevant to your question.

There is no need to use terms such as ‘verbal adjective’, ‘verbal noun’—WTF? (how confusing is that to Mr. Average Joe?)
