1. Adjectives ending in -ing vs. –ed

a) There are big differences between the adjectives that end in –ing and the ones that
end –ed. For example, I could say:
 “My holiday was relaxing.” or “I felt really relaxed.”

o Adjectives ending in -ed describe how a person feels. That means that they
describe feelings. For example:
 Yesterday was my last exam. Today I am exhausted.
 My mother is interested in that new book.
 The girls weren’t bored about the story.
 They felt frightened during the horror film.
 She was really surprised because she won the competition.
 Last year I was in Italy. I felt so excited

something. For example:
 The film was really boring.
 Please, don’t do it! It was frightening.
 The books were interesting.
 The English lessons weren’t boring.
 Yesterday I won the race. It was exciting!

3. Past simple with regular verbs
 When we use regular verbs in the Past Simple, we add -ED at the end of the verb. It
works with all subject pronouns.
o For example:
 "He played soccer."
 "She cooked lomo saltado."
 "I danced salsa."
 "You watched TV."
 There are some spelling rules we need to remember.
o If a verb ends in -e, you only add -d.
 Like "agree" becomes "agreed," "like" becomes "liked," and
"escape" becomes "escaped."
o If a verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, the consonant is usually doubled
before -ed.
 So, "stop" becomes "stopped," and "plan" becomes "planned."
o And if a verb ends in a consonant and -y, you take off the y and add -ied.
 Like "try" becomes "tried," and "carry" becomes "carried."
 In negative sentences, we use the auxiliary verb "DID" and the base form of the
verb. "Did" is used with all subject pronouns.
o For example:
 "He didn't play soccer."
 "She didn't cook lomo saltado."

Alicia Mercado was born in 1995, She studied at school 2 years ago. She was the most
popular student in school. She once said that she got up at 5 a.m. to go to school and went
to sleep very late at night. She always had high grades in her favorite courses: History and
Language, but she didn't like basketball. I remember that she was very hard-working and
creative. He also organized fascinating school events. We all remember her as a very kind
and fun girl, but at contests she was often very serious.
