how to use verbs as adjectives?
NANA フアーストシーズンは終わった..最終回で全て感動しました..セカンドシーズン楽しみにしています !! ^-^
I'm trying to express - the last episode was very touching.. instead of I was very touched by the last episode.. I don't think I did it right?

最終回はとても感動的でした。
Because in literal translation of English to Japanese, "be" is often translated to "は" and "by" is translated to "で", it might be better to use "は". And in this case, using "全て" might feel meaning of "all parts of the story", I think.
(To express the meaning of "all parts of", it is better to use "全てが" or "全てにおいて".
最終回の全てが感動的でした。
the all parts of the last episode were touching.
最終回の全てにおいて感動させられました。
I was touched by the all parts of the last episode.)
