Description:

A very common mistake in English is the confusion of adjectives with a -ing or -ed ending. Is the test bored or is it boring? Are you bored or are you boring?! Many words have these adjective pairs and it is important to remember which one to use - you don't want to tell someone they are boring when actually you think they are bored!

We use -ing adjectives when we are talking about the 'thing' that is creating the feeling.
"Grammar is very boring according to David."
"Talent shows are really boring."

We use -ed adjectives when we talk about our own or someone else's feelings.
"David is very bored of grammar."
"I'm really bored of talent shows."
