1- "lean" is intransitive.
Normally, "the ladder is leaning against the wall" expresses a state is static. It already in its final position, touching the wall at an angle.
But say, in a movie, there is a slow motion scene where a ladder is moving slowly toward the wall into a leaning position.
Can we say "the ladder is leaning against the wall" to express a dynamic action in this case?
2- "lean" is transitive.
Normally, we say "I am leaning the ladder against the wall" meaning I am holding the ladder in my hands and lowering its end toward the wall into a leaning position.
In this case "lean" as a transitive verb expresses an action not a state.
Its passive voice "the ladder is being leaned against the wall" can be used to describe the slow motion scene mentioned above?
3- V3 form of a verb can be used as an adjective, so "leaned" is an adjective
Can we say "the ladder is leaned against the wall" to express the current state?
if Yes, then "the ladder is leaned against the wall" and "the ladder is leaning against the wall" are the same or different?
