Adjectives ending in “ED” and ”ING”

Adjectives ending in “ED” and ”ING”

Some adjectives have the characteristic of ending in “ed” and “ing”. Let’s take a look at the rules.

-We use adjectives ending in “ING” to describe something or someone.
Examples:
1) Maria is watching a very interesting movie.
2) I hate that teacher. He is really boring.

-We use adjectives ending in “ED” when we want to describe how people feel.
Examples:
1) This movie isn’t interesting. I am bored.
2) Juan is very exited because he is going to travel to Miami.

Conclusions- We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.-
We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.

We can say:
Felipe is boring. (describes his personality).
Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)
