 Introdution

In the next work we’re going to define the adjectives ending in “ed” and “ing”. Adjectives
that end in “ed” make reference to moods and, therefore, a people ex: “I feel bored by
watching this movie.” and the adjectives that end in “ing” refer to objects (or people) that
produce a mood, ex:” This movie is boring.” As you can see, we use adjectives with ending
“ed” to talk about how we feel about certain things, places, or events. On the other hand,
the adjectives “ing” us will serve to specify the characteristics of such things, places, or
events.
 LOS ADJECTIVES

An adjective is a Word that produces a little change in a noun. In English, the adjectives
precede the nouns they modify.

Examples:

 The big lake.

 The old town.
 A pretty girl.

In English there are eight kinds of adjectives:

1. Qualifying: Good, Thin, Dry, Bad, Short.

2. Demonstrative: This, That, These, Those.

3. Distributive: Each, Every, Either, Neither.

4. Quantity: some, any, little, few, many, much, Enough.

5. Interrogative: Which? What? Whose? Etc.

6. Possessive: My, Your, His, Her, Our, Yours, Their, Theirs (of them / as).

7. Own: French, English; Spanish, etc.

8. Numerals: one, ten, first, second, etc.

ADJECTIVES ENDING IN AD AND ING

There are many adjectives that we have in English that end in -ED or -ING.
Yes, that's correct, they are not only endings that we use for verbs!

An adjective that ends in -ING is used to describe: the characteristic of a person, a thing or
a situation.

An adjective that ends in -ED is used to describe: a feeling (or how a person feels) 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 situation.

Compare the difference:

 My girlfriend is bored. - (My girlfriend feels bored)

 My girlfriend is boring. - (My girlfriend is a boring person)

You can use these adjectives to describe people or situations but be careful that you are
using the correct adjective. For example, there is a big difference in meaning between:

 I am confused. - (I don't understand something)

 I am confusing. - (I will cause you to be confused)

Note that the sentences below are to highlight the difference between the two types of
adjectives. They are NOT common to do or say because they sound repetitive.

 I was shocked by how shocking the accident was last night.

 They were frightened by the frightening roller-coaster ride!
 I am annoyed by how annoying that person in front of us is.
 Sally was confused by the confusing street signs in the city.

Example sentences of adjectives ending in -ED and -ING

 This grammar lesson is boring. I am bored reading all about these grammar rules.
 I am tired right now. My flight was tiring (because it was a twelve-hour flight).
 Public toilets are usually disgusting. I am disgusted by the smell in some of them.
 Your speech was very inspiring. I am now inspired to do wonderful things with my
life.
 -ed and –ing adjectives:

Adjectives that end ‘-ed’ (e.g. ‘bored’, ‘interested’) and adjectives that end ‘-ing’ (e.g.
‘boring’, ‘interesting’) are often confused.

-ed adjectives

Adjectives that end ‘-ed’ describe emotions – they tell us how people feel about
something.

 I was very bored in the maths lesson. I almost fell asleep.

 He was surprised to see Helen. She’d told him she was going to Australia.
 Feeling tired and depressed, he went to bed.

-ing adjectives

Adjectives that end ‘-ing’ describe the thing that causes the emotion – a boring lesson
makes you feel bored.

 Have you seen that film? It’s absolutely terrifying.

 I could listen to him for hours. He’s one of the most interesting people I’ve ever met.
 I can’t eat this! It’s disgusting! What is it?

Remember that people can be boring but only if they make other people feel bored.

 He talks about the weather for hours. He’s so boring.

 NOT I was very boring at the party so I went home.
The adjectives ending in “-ing” should not be confused with the present participle that
forms the progressive in English.

 This is a tiring exercise. (adjective)

 He is tiring everybody with his constant questions. (Present Progressive)
Here are some more adjectives that can have both an ‘-ed’ and an ‘-ing’ form

 Amused – Amusing
 Annoyed - Annoying
 Confused – Confusing
 Disappointed – Disappointing
 Excited - Exciting
 Exhausted – Exhausting
 Frightened – Frightening
 Satisfied – Satisfying
 Shocked – Shocking
 Tiring – Tired
 Surprising - Surprised
 Boring – Bored
 Depressed – Depressing

 Conclusion

The Adjectives accompany and modify the name. They can expand, supplement or
quantify their size. They are words who mentioned or indicate qualities, characteristics
and properties of the names or nouns to which accompany. It is clear that you for things,
situations or objects use completion “ing”, and it is not possible to use”ed”.

The reason is because termination "ed" to express what one feels, and it is clear that lifele
ss things may not feel used. For people one can use "ed" (when one feels) or "ing", but the
latter is used to describe the person
