Clearly, we need to choose our participle adjectives wisely. Generally, past info@callanschool.info
participle adjectives – for example ‘bored’, ‘interested’, ‘excited’, ‘motivated’,
‘stimulated’, ‘frightened’ (they typically end in ‘-ed’) – are used to talk about how
someone feels at a particular moment in time. It should be noted that there are
exceptions to the ‘-ed’ rule – e.g. the past participle ‘upset’ (‘I was upset by her
comments’).

Present participle adjectives generally end in ‘-ing’ – e.g. ‘boring’, ‘interesting’, frightening’, etc. – and refer to
the person (or thing) that has caused the feeling.
