NOTE: Some Manufacturing Process verbs are used to make the names of technical objects (welding torch, grinding wheel, polishing jag).  The "-ing" words are permitted if they qualify as Technical Names (refer to Section 1).
 
 RULE: 3.2 Use the approved forms of the verb to make only:
 
      The infinitive
 
      The imperative
 
      The simple present tense
 
      The simple past tense
 
      The future tense.
 
 You can use the approved forms of the verb to make:
 
      The infinitive (TO ADJUST, or simply ADJUST)
 
      The imperative ("commanding" form) (ADJUST the)
 
      The simple present tense (it ADJUSTS, you, we, they ADJUST)
 
      The simple past tense (it ADJUSTED)
 
      The future tense (you will ADJUST).
 
 RULE: 3.3 Use the past participle only as an adjective: either with a noun or after the verbs TO BE, TO BECOME.
 
 You can use the past participle of a verb as an adjective, either before a noun, or after a form of the verb TO BE or TO BECOME. When used as an adjective, the past participle shows the state, or condition, that something is in. (Do not confuse this with the passive voice, where it shows an action. Refer to Rule 3.6.)
 
 Example: Here is how you can use DISCONNECTED as an adjective:
 
Connect the disconnected wires. (Adjective before "wires")
 
The wires are disconnected. (Adjective after "are", a form of TO BE)
 
The wires become disconnected. (Adjective after "become")
 
 With some irregular verbs, the past participle is not permitted. Do not use the past participle if it is not in the Dictionary (for example, do not use "been" or "gotten").
 
 RULE: 3.4 Do not use the past participle with a form of the verb HAVE to make an unapproved tense.
 
 Examples:
 
 WRITE:  ...adjusted.
 NOT:  ...has adjusted.

 
 WRITE:  ...was adjusted.
    (where "adjusted" is an adjective after "was", a form of TO BE)
 NOT:  ...has been adjusted.
