In this lesson I’m focusing on adjectives

that end in –ed and –ing.

An adjective that ends in -ing is used to describe

the characteristic of a person

a thing or a situation!

For example:

The guy was too boring.

The coffee was disgusting.

My date wasn’t exciting.

An adjective that ends in -ed is used to describe

a feeling or an emotion.

It is used to describe a temporary thing.

Since only people and some animals have feelings

-ed adjectives cannot be used to describe an object

or a situation.

For example:

I’m really excited.

I was completely disappointed.

She’s worried about her exam.

Now let’s go through some more examples:

Boring is used to describe

how the grammar lesson is

while bored is used to describe

how I feel about these grammar rules!

The speech was very inspiring.

I am now inspired

to do wonderful things in my life.

Inspiring is used to describe how the speech was

but inspired is used to describe my feeling

about the speech!
