-ed -ing adjectives

Some participles (like 'bored' or 'boring') can be used as adjectives. These are used in a slightly different way from normal adjectives.

We usually use the past participle (ending in -ed) to talk about how someone feels:

I was really bored during the flight (NOT: I was really boring during the flight). .
She's interested in history (NOT: She's really interesting in history)
John's frightened of spiders (NOT: John's frightening of spiders).

I read a really interesting book about history (so I was interested).
