Don't you have a spellchecker to do this job for you? For all I know, the firefox browser has a spellchecker build in. Apart from that, you can google a word you're having doubts about, and if your version is not all too skewed, you will be given the heads up on how to write the word you're inquiring about, correctly.

	Avangi  +  959281 Sun, 01 Nov 09 10:14 PM "Slump" is a verb, and it's past participle may serve as an adjective.  In your example it's an adjective. But since it's derived from a verb, we can use adverbial expressions to modify it.  "Over his desk" is a prepositional phrase which modifies (the adjective) "slumped" adverbially. The slumped blimp lay on the ground, rolling around in the breeze.
