Important Note: There are no certain rules to use suffixes or prefixes to form adjectives.
It is better to memorize them.
Many adjectives to describe feelings have both ing and ed forms. Ex:
Annoyed / annoying
depressed / depressing
excited / exciting
The ed form describes how YOU FEEL. Ex:
- Im very tired this morning. (It describes how I feel)
- She feels excited when she sees her baby. (It describes how she feels)
- Mary is worried about her brother. (It describes how she feels because of her
brother).
The ing form describes what or who makes you feel that way. Ex:
- Doing a lot of tasks can be tiring. (Description of the action that makes me feel tired)
I think horror films are so exciting. (Description of the thing that makes me feel
excited)
Marys brothers worrying for her. (He is the cause why she is worried).
