Participles as adjectives
Both the present participle and the past participle can be used as adjectives.
For example:
| Present participle | Past participle |
| Boring Interesting Confusing Amazing Annoying Exciting | Bored Interested Confused Amazed Annoyed Excited |
Example sentences:
| Present participle | Past participle |
| The movie was very boring. That book was so interesting. His message was a bit confusing. What an amazing speech! You really are annoying . . . James has an exciting job. | Why do you look so bored? She is very interested in music. I feel quite confused. We were quite amazed to see her. The audience became annoyed. We are so excited! |
Participles are used together with helping verbs (also called auxiliary verbs).
