Adjectives ending in
ED and ING
There are many adjectives that we
have in English that end in -
ED or -ING.
Yes, that's correct, they are not
only endings that we use for verbs!
-ING
An adjective that ends in -ING is used
to describe: the characteristic of a
person, a thing or a situation.
-ED
An adjective that ends in -ED is used to
describe: a feeling (or how a person feels) or
an emotion. It is used to describe a temporary
thing. Since only people (and some animals)
have feelings, -ed adjectives cannot be used to
describe an object or situation.
 Examples

 The English class is so amusing
