Could you help me? I'm a Japanese and teaching English to my students. Today we learned the phrase "Let's get started". One of the students asked me about what kind of grammatical category "started" belongs to? Is it the past participle of the transitive "start"? Or is it the past participle of the intransitive "start"? Or is it just an ordinary adjective? I'm totally puzzled. I'll appreciate any help from you.
