Textauszüge aus dem Inhalt:
Participial adjectives (-‐ed / -‐ing) There are many adjectives formed from either the past participle or the -‐ing form of a verb. For example: surprised – surprising, bored – boring, tired – tiring, interested – interesting. But there is an important difference between the two! Past participles (-‐ed) We use the past paticiples of verbs as adjectives (ending with –ed) to describe how we feel about something or someone. You must be tired after the journey. The match was very bad and I was bored. We were amused by Peters jokes. Present participles (-‐ing) We use the present participles of verbs as adjectives (ending with –ing) to describe the thing or person that produces the feeling. It must have been a very tiring journey. It was a boring match and I feel asleep. We found Peters jokes amusing.
