Hi all !!
Verb-ed words can act as verb (when the subject is doing the action) and they can be adjective (e.g. The surprised candidate entered the room for the interview).
But can verb-ed words act as nouns?
I am trying to think of a sentence but not able to come up with one that uses verb-ed words as noun.

Well, sometimes, but it's not really something to worry about.
You can see ed-verbs used as nouns in constructions like this one:
The oppressed rose up and overcame their oppressors.
I'm not sure whether you'd ever see that on the GMAT, though.
You can also see ed-verbs used in predicates - the second part of the 'who did what' of a sentence. This is worth noting, because nouns can also appear in predicates. For example:
The man is embarrassed.
The man is a doctor.
'Embarrassed' is an ed-verb (here, serving as an adjective). 'A doctor' is a noun. They can appear in the same place in the sentence, and they serve the same purpose. However, that doesn't mean that the ed-verb is a noun.
