Hello, hello guys.
I have two questions for you today.
The first one is, did you already subscribe
to the channel?
No?
What are you waiting for, it's just one click.
And the second one is, have you ever got
confusing with a confused topic?
No, wait.
Have you ever got confused with a confusing topic?
Well, this is one of those confusing topics.
The difference between confused and confusing,
excited and exciting, bored, boring, interested, interesting.
We call those participial adjectives and that’s what
we’ll be talking about today.
Let's study a little bit together.
What are participial adjectives?
Participials are words that are made of verbs
and also finish in ED or ING.
In this specific case we use them
for describing different things.
But which one is more useful?
When do we use them?
Adjectives with ED.
In one corner, we have the adjectives that finish in ED.
We usually use them to describe feelings,
how people feel about something or someone.
And it is not so common to describe non-living things,
situations, or ideas with them.
For example.
I'm excited.
I'm bored.
I'm surprised.
I'm annoyed.
Adjectives with ING.
In the other corner, we have the adjectives
that finish in ING.
They usually describe the quality of a person,
thing, or idea.
Therefore, they're in charge of describing the thing that
causes a feeling or emotion.
For example.
The fact of going to a concert again is exciting!
This book is boring.
The end of this movie was surprising.
My neighbour is annoying!
I wonder what he’s doing.
Which is the winner?
Neither of them.
They complement each other and it depends on the kind
of situation or thing you would like to describe.
ED for feelings and ING for the object or a thing which
makes you feel something.
Look at the different sentences and choose the correct option
to complete them.
