Confused or Confusing?


What's the difference? Well, we use adjectives that end with –ed  to talk about our own feelings, or how a situation makes us feel. We use adjectives that end with -ing to talk about a person, a thing or a situation that causes those feelings. So we can say the following:

I’m usually confused with prepositions. Prepositions are confusing.

 
Look at these sentences:
  • My boyfriend has a very annoying habit. He's always late! I get really annoyed with him.
  • Our book is so interesting. I'm really interested in learning a lot of things.
  • The class was boring. I had no-one to work with so I was really bored

Let's have a bit of practice, now!
Complete the sentences using the correct form; either -ing or -ed.

1. My teacher is very _____. The lessons are very _____. The subject is very _____. I'm _____! (bored/boring)

2. Are you _____ in going to the cinema sometime and see a film in original version? (interested/interesting)
