 Los present participial adjectives o mejor dicho los que terminan en “ing”, son los que utilizamos al momento de describir a alguien o algo, algunos ejemplos son:

 

-          I had an amazing trip.

-          Mexico city was certainly exciting.

-          I am reading an interesting book.

-           

Los past participial adjectives o, mejor dicho, los adjetivos que terminan en “ed” son los que utilizamos específicamente para expresar un sentimiento, algunos ejemplos son:

 

-          I was so bored at the conference

-          I felt amazed in the roller coaster

-          The meeting always makes me feel stressed

 

Básicamente, los adjetivos terminados en “ing” (present participle adjectives) son la causa y los adjetivos terminados en “ed”(past participle adjectives) son el efecto. Para que tengas una mejor y clara idea te presentamos un texto completo en donde ambos tipos de adjetivos se ponen en práctica:



MY BIGGEST FEAR

 

Traveling by plane is one of the most terrifying experiences since I am always terrified when I do it. Last week I heard some shocking news, a plane had to have an emergency landing since one of the engines stopped working, I was absolutely shocked.

 

Next week I am going to travel to Brazil. I am very excited because the carnivals there are so exciting but still, I am a little worried about the flight.

 

I am relieved because my brother is going to travel with me, it is always relieving to be next to him as he always makes me laugh.

 

I will have so many stories to tell when I get back home and will tell my friends all the amazing experiences, they will be amazed for sure.
