Predicative only — this adjective normally appears after linking verbs such as feel, look, seem, or appear. It is rarely placed directly before a noun (e.g. a rested child is possible but much less natural than the child looked rested).

常見錯誤

❌I am resting this morning.' (when meaning you feel refreshed).
✅I feel rested this morning.
💡'resting' is the continuous form of the verb 'rest'; use the adjective 'rested' to describe your state of being refreshed.
❌She was a rested woman after her holiday.' (attributive use).
✅She looked rested after her holiday.
💡'rested' sounds odd directly before a noun; use it after a linking verb instead.
