Which part of speech is the underlined word in the following expression ?
'But we get affected'
Answer: A
The underlined word 'affected' is a verb.
In 'we get affected', get works like be to form a passive (the get-passive), and affected is the past participle of the verb affect. The clause means 'we are affected (by something)', describing an action done to us, so the word is a verb form.
It is not an adjective here because it names the action we undergo rather than a settled quality; a phrase such as 'by our ego being hit' could follow it. It is not an adverb, since it does not modify a verb, adjective or adverb, and it is not a particle like the up of a phrasal verb.
