Grammar

Adjectives with -ed and -ing

People often confuse adjectives that end in -ed, like bored 

or excited, with adjectives that end in -ing, for example 

boring or exciting

adjectives that end in -ed

- describe emotions

- tell us how people feel about something

Did you see that video about spiders? Yes, I was terrified by it.

adjectives that end in -ing

- describes the thing that produces the feeling

Spelling changes when adding -ed

If the base ends in an 'e', just add 'd': 

surprise --> surprised

amuse --> amused

Spelling changes when adding -ing

If the base ends in an 'e', remove the 'e' and  add 'ing':

surprise --> suprising

amuse --> amusing

Pronunciation: sentence stress

We stress the words in sentences that we particularly want our listenters to hear, the words which carry the most meaning.

These are usually nouns, verbs, adjectives or adverbs, not small grammar words like articles or prepositions.
