I've noticed that English learners sometimes get their adjectives mixed up. I actually make the same mistake when I'm speaking French! In this English lesson I'll look at adjectives that end in -ED and -ING and how they can have very different meanings when you use them to talk about yourself.

If you've ever said, "I'm amazing!", instead of, "I'm amazed!" you might smile a bit during this lesson when you realize what you actually said. One means you think you're cool, the other means you are looking at something that amazes you.

Learning English takes time, and sometimes along the way it's important to review and improve your use of adjectives. I hope this English adjective lesson brings a smile to your face and also helps you in your next English conversation!

I think it's very cool that you are learning English and I hope you have a great day!
