This is an English grammar lesson which explains adjectives ending in ING and ED.
They are also known as participle adjectives.
Here is what you will learn during this lesson:
The origin of both types and the form.
The meaning and use of -ing and -ed adjectives.
The most common examples.
-ing adjectives are in fact the present participle form of the verb and the -ed adjective is the past participle.
The adjectives that cause confusion for students are the ones that describe feelings and emotion. They cause confusion because both types can be used to describe people but the meaning is very different.
Common examples are:
interesting vs interested
boring vs bored
exciting vs excited
There are many more examples in this video.
There are some English grammar exercises at the end of the video to test your understanding.
