    This document discusses the difference between participial adjectives ending in "-ing" and "-ed" in English. Adjectives ending in "-ing" describe the thing or person causing a feeling, such as a "boring" film. Adjectives ending in "-ed" describe the receiver of the feeling, such as someone who is "bored." Some examples are provided to illustrate this difference, such as being "embarrassed" by something "embarrassing." The most common participial adjectives are also listed. Practice questions are included at the end for the reader to identify whether "-ing" or "-ed" endings should be used.
