Ed, Ing Adjectives

This document provides examples to illustrate the difference between using past and present participles as adjectives. It notes that past participles ending in "-ed" describe how people feel, while present participles ending in "-ing" describe something that causes the feelings. Two sets of 10 multiple choice questions are included for learners to practice identifying whether a past or present participle form should be used to complete each sentence correctly based on whether it describes a feeling or a cause of that feeling. The answers to both sets of questions are provided.
