Which is correct, and why?
|
|
"the challenges deriving from individual differences" AND/OR "the challenges derived from individual differences" I am not a linguist, so when my co-teachers ask me questions like this I am at a loss for how to answer them. I will appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you! ~Breanna Jennings

In the 1st sentence you can replace DERIVING by WHICH DERIVE l "the challenges which derive from individual difference make you stronger" (for example) The sentence is ACTIVE.
In the 2nd sentence DERIVED can be turned into WHICH ARE DERIVED : "The challenges which are derived from individual challenges are particularly interesting to note down." (for example) This sentence is PASSIVE.
-ING is indicating an active action, even in the adjectives whereas -ED is the mark of passive, even in the adjectives.
Hope my explanation is clear.
Have a good day.
