English learners often are not sure whether to use the “-ing” ending or “-ed” ending for adjectives that express emotions. Some examples of these adjectives, derived from verbs, are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • exciting\/excited<\/li>\n
  • interesting\/interested<\/li>\n
  • boring\/bored<\/li>\n
  • amazing\/amazed<\/li>\n
  • confusing\/confused<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    Here’s a general rule to help you remember the difference:<\/h2>\n
      \n
    • When talking about yourself or your feelings, use the \u2013ed<\/strong> ending. \u201cI am interested in music.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • When talking about others or something outside yourself, use the \u2013ing <\/strong>ending. \u201cThat music is interesting.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
