Adjectives ending in “ED” and ”ING”
Some adjectives have the characteristic of ending in “ed” and “ing”. Let’s
ltake a look at the rules.
§ We use adjectives ending
in “ING” to describe something.

Examples:
Maria is watching a very interesting movie.
I hate that teacher. He is really boring.
Maria is watching a very interesting movie.
I hate that teacher. He is really boring.
§ We use adjectives ending
in “ED” when we want to describe how people feel.
Examples:
This movie isn’t interesting. I am bored.
Juan is very exited because he is going to travel to Miami for the first time.
Conclusions
– We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.
– We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.
– We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people. Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.
– We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.
We can say:
Felipe is boring. (describes his personality).
Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)
Felipe is boring. (describes his personality).
Felipe is bored. (he feels bored at the moment)
We can’t say:
The TV program is bored – INCORRECT (because things can’t feel).
***Queda claro que para cosas, situaciones u
objetos usamos la terminación “ing” y no es posible usar “ed”. La razón es
porque se usa la terminación “ed” para expresar lo que uno siente y está claro
que las cosas sin vida no pueden sentir. Para personas uno puede usar “ed”
(cuando uno siente) o “ing” pero esta última se usa para DESCRIBIR a la
persona. Así que si yo digo “Juan is depressed” quiere decir que se
encuentra deprimido ya que describo la situación actual porque por algina razón
se siente asi. En cambio si decimos “Juan is depressing” entonces
describimos a Juan. Es una persona depresiva. The TV program is bored – INCORRECT (because things can’t feel).
