-ed vs ing adjectives

Описание к видео -ed vs ing adjectives

Here is an introduction to -ed and -ing ending adjectives in English:

Adjectives ending in -ed are usually past participles and describe the past state or condition of something. For example:
Tired (feeling worn out from activity)
Excited (feeling enthusiastic about something previously)
Bored (feeling uninterested after a period of time)

Adjectives ending in -ing usually describe the present ongoing state or condition of something. They indicate something is happening now. For example:
Boring (being dull or uninteresting currently)
Exciting (being thrilling or stimulating currently)
Tiring (being exhausting or fatiguing currently)

Both -ed and -ing adjectives can describe people, places, objects or ideas. They provide information about a subject's state or condition.

Not all verbs can form -ed and -ing adjectives. Only those that describe a tangible state that a subject can be in, like feel/be tired vs run fast.

The context and tense of the sentence will determine if an -ed or -ing form is more appropriate to use.

These adjective forms add descriptive richness to writing by conveying the temporal aspect (past or present) of a subject's state or experience.
