My Diary
This is a short comprehension that highlights the differences between present participle and past participle (-ed and -ing) adjectives. It is often a problem for Asian students. The exercise in the worksheet where students have to find out what the -ed/ -ing adjective is describing normally helps them notice a pattern in the usage.
