Hi Javier,

In the sentence you are referring to an adjective is needed. The word annoys is a verb (third person singular form of annoy').
The word annoying is an adjective.

So, you can say What annoys me is the fact that you always seem to know the answers to my questions before I have even asked them.

Hi,
can i use annoyed here?Is the word "annoyed" an adjective?

[Alan]

Hi Strawberry,

Yes annoyed can be used as an adjective describing a state of anger that you are in when something unpleasant happens and of course it can be the past form of the verb annoy.
