beaded + noun (attributive)

Frequently used attributively (before a noun) to describe clothing, accessories, or household items. This sense implies actual beads are attached, not a printed pattern that merely looks like beads.

文法句型

beaded with + [liquid noun]

beaded + noun describing surface

用法筆記

Almost always used predicatively after a linking verb (is beaded, was beaded, stood beaded). The liquid is typically introduced by 'with'. Unlike sense 1, this sense is rarely used attributively — you would say 'his beaded forehead' only in literary or descriptive writing.

常見錯誤

❌His shirt was beaded from the rain.
✅His shirt was beaded with raindrops after the downpour.
💡The liquid droplets should be specified with 'with', and the sentence is clearer when the droplets are mentioned.
