ENGLISH GRAMMAR IN USE FOR INTERMEDIATE

UNIT 98. Adjectives ending in –ing and –ed (boring/
bored etc)

A

Many adjectives end in -ing and -ed, for example: boring
and bored. Study this
example situation:

Jane has been doing the same
job for a very long time. Every day she does exactly the same thing again
and again. She doesn’t enjoy her job any more and would like to do
something different.

Jane’s job is boring.

Jane is bored (with her job).

Somebody is bored if something (or
somebody else) is boring.
Or, if something is boring,
it makes you bored. So:

Jane is bored because her job is boring.

Jane’s job is boring, so Jane is bored. (not Jane is boring)

If a person is boring, this means that they
make other people bored:

George always talks about the
same things. He’s really boring.

B

Compare adjectives ending in -ing and —ed:

In these examples, the —ing adjective tells you
about the job.

I’m bored with my job

I’m not interested in my job any more.

I get very tired doing my job.

I’m not satisfied with my job.

My job makes me depressed. (etc.)

In these examples, the -ed adjective tells you how
somebody feels (about the job)

Compare these examples:

exam

it to be much better.
