I like teaching English and you like
learning English don't you
but those phrases don't really give any
information about how teaching or
learning English makes us feel your
likes and dislikes are much more
complicated than simply liking or
disliking something it's far more
interesting when we can explain more
about what that thing makes us feel how
do you feel about sharks Oh
sharks are terrifying sharks are such
interesting creatures I am fascinated by
them I'm amazed by sharks and other sea
creatures
isn't that so much more interesting than
simply saying whether or not you like
something
do you like sharks yeah yes
No okay hi I'm sorry to interrupt I know
it's really annoying when you're trying
to watch a video and then the presenter
stops to tell you about a service or
product but don't skip forward because
this is what I call an educational ad

very busy mind blowing means surprising
but in a good way

I hoped you enjoyed this educational ad
now back to the lesson in English many
adjectives are formed by adding ing or
Edie
to a verb for example the verb to annoy
we can use an ing suffix to show what or
who is being annoying
my sister is annoying she's not really
or if you want to explain who is
experiencing the emotion you could use
an e d suffix and say I am annoyed girl
notice how we don't put the emphasis on
the Edie at all you don't pronounce that
e you just pronounce the D on the end
annoyed annoyed annoyed so you use ing
if you're talking about the cause and
Edie if you're talking about the effect
so you could say the trip to the beach
was relaxing my friends and I felt
relaxed the trip to the beach is the
cause which had an effect on myself and
my friends the trip to the beach was
relaxing my friends and I felt relaxed
so if you want to include the subject
and the object in a sentence to explain
everything in one go you could say I was
exhausted by the drive so you say the
subject the verb the adjective with an e
d suffix and the word by and finally the
object I was exhausted by the drive the
drive was exhausting I felt exhausted
here's another example I was entertained
by the performance the performance was
entertaining and I felt entertained I
was puzzled by your email to be puzzled
is too
very confused your email was puzzling I
was puzzled now it's your turn in the
comments I'd like you to tell me about
three things one tell me about something
that has annoyed you recently - tell me
about something that has interested you
recently three tell me about something
that has shocked you recently and then
once you've done that why not come over
to this lesson I'll see you there
