-ed- oder -ing-Adjektive

Adjektive für Gefühle gibt es in zwei Formen:

-ed wie sich jemand fühlt: I'm bored. (Mir ist langweilig.) She was surprised. (Überrascht.)
-ing was das Gefühl auslöst: The lesson is boring. (Langweilig.)

Ein langweiliger Film macht dich also gelangweilt. Vorsicht: I am boring heißt, andere finden dich langweilig, nicht dass dir langweilig ist.

Signale:

Person + feel/look/get/stay → meist -ed: You look tired.
Person + -ed + by/about/in/to: amazed by, excited about, interested in, surprised to see
find + Sache + -ing: I find grammar confusing.

Schreibweise: tire → tired / tiring, embarrass → embarrassed / embarrassing.
