Many participial adjectives, which have no corresponding verb, are formed by combining a noun with a participle:
alcohol-based chemicals battle-hardened soldiers drug-induced coma energy-saving devices fact-finding mission purpose-built accommodation

When participial adjectives are used predicatively, it may sometimes be difficult to distinguish between adjectival and verbal uses. Consider the following pair: [1] The noise is annoying. [2] The noise is annoying the neighbours.
In [1], we can modify annoying using very: [1a] The noise is (very) annoying.
But we cannot modify it in the same way in [2]: [2a] *The noise is (very) annoying the neighbours.
