hello and welcome to English like a
native today we're looking at adjectives
that can end in both II D and ing it's
so confusing when can we use which form
luckily the answer is simple
II D we use to describe the way we feel
so it describes the way you or the
subject feels for example whoo I am
bored they are bored he is bored
the students were bored because he spoke
for so long
the children had nothing to do therefore
they were bored if the adjective
finishes with ing then this describes
the thing that is causing the emotion
for example oh this is so boring
therefore I am bored his speech was so
boring therefore the students were bored
having nothing to do is boring therefore
the children were bored so there we go
edie describes the feeling and ing
describes the action that causes the
feeling let's have a look at some more
examples I am interested in the film
because the film is interesting
we were very amused because the clown
was an amusing clown he kept doing that
annoying voice and I left feeling very
annoyed I'm finding English quite
confusing I'm always confused my scores
were disappointing therefore I'm very
disappointed the food was disgusting I
am disgusted with the standard of food
being served we have an exciting holiday
booked we're so excited
it's been an exhausting day David and I
are just exhausted
this house can be frightening at
nighttime if I'm ever here alone I'm
usually quite frightened I'm quite
satisfied because I ate a satisfying
meal
I am shocked at his behavior really it's
very shocking gardening is tiring isn't
it I'm certainly tired are you tired so
if it ends in edie it describes the way
you feel and if it ends in ing it
describes the action that causes a
feeling or the thing that causes the
feeling so I hope you found that helpful
