Here's why:
* "Evade" is a verb: It describes an action (to avoid or escape).
* Adjectives describe nouns: They tell us more about a person, place, or thing.
While there are no direct adjective forms, you can use other words to convey similar meanings:
* Evasive: This adjective describes someone or something that avoids giving direct answers or information.
* Elusive: This adjective describes something that is difficult to find or capture, often because it is sneaky or elusive.
* Dodging: This is a more informal adjective that implies skillful avoidance of something.
Example:
* Instead of: "The suspect gave an *evade* response."
* You could say: "The suspect gave an *evasive* response."
