What are adjectives that begin with 'a' called in grammar?
I mean adjectives like: ablaze, afloat, alive, ashore, ...
I did a quick Google search and found that they are called a adjectives. But I do remember that I came across a different denomination in a grammar book some time ago, but I have since forgotten that word.
Could anyone help?
