Conclusions
- We can use adjectives ending in “ing” for things or people.
Remember that when we use “ing” it is describing the person or thing.
- We can use the “ed” ONLY for people (or animals) because THINGS CANNOT FEEL.
We can say:
Felipe is boring.
(describes his personality).
Felipe is bored.
(describes Felipe situation of not being entertained at the moment)
We can’t say:
The TV program is bored – INCORRECT (because things can’t feel).

is very bored / boring.
