Participial Adjectives Boring or Bored Confusing or Confused Exciting or Excited Embarrassing or Embarrassed ING? or ED? What a confusing decision!

They’re ADJECTIVES! They DESCRIBE! Be Careful! Participial adjectives look like verbs, but they’re not verbs! They’re ADJECTIVES! What do adjectives do? They DESCRIBE!

Here’s a question for you! In English, where do you usually put an adjective in a sentence? In English there are two places they can go: Before a noun: This is confusing grammar. That was a boring movie. After the verb “be”:This grammar is confusing. That movie was boring.

There are 2 types of participial adjectives. Present Participial Adjectives end in “ING” For example: boring exhausting exciting surprising confusing embarrassing Past Participial Adjectives end in “ED” For example: bored exhausted excited surprised confused embarrassed

So here’s the big question! When do you use boring? When do you use bored? Exciting? Excited? Depressing? Depressed? Fascinating? Fascinated?

We can often view a situation in one of the following ways: Cause……….Result Cause……….Feeling Doer……….Receiver For example, if you are in an English class and the grammar really confuses you. You would say: This grammar is confusing. (It’s the cause of your confusion.) You are confused. (This is the result of that grammar lesson. It’s how you feel.)

So… -ING -ED Present Participial Adjective Past Participial Adjective Cause Result The lesson was boring. The students were bored. Cause Feeling The book is interesting. The reader is interested. The doer The receiver The speaker was boring. The audience was bored.
