Прилагателни с -ed/-ing
Прилагателните с окончания -ed и -ing се образуват от един и същи глагол, но имат различно значение. С -ed описваме как се чувства човек (bored, interested, surprised). С -ing описваме нещо или някого, което предизвиква това чувство (boring, interesting, surprising). Ако филмът е boring, хората, които го гледат, са bored.
Какво да запомним
- -ed = как се чувства човекът: I was bored. I'm interested in history.
- -ing = какво предизвиква чувството: The film was boring. The book was interesting.
- Двойки: bored/boring, excited/exciting, surprised/surprising, tired/tiring, frightened/frightening.
- The news was surprising, so everyone was surprised.
- Внимавай: I'm boring означава 'аз съм скучен', а не 'скучно ми е'.
Пример
The trip was disappointing and we were all disappointed. (Екскурзията беше разочароваща и всички бяхме разочаровани.)
