GRAMMAR - Use of -ing and -ed Adjectives

This section revisits the use of -ing and -ed adjectives, which are present participles (-ing forms) and past participles (-ed forms) of verbs used as adjectives. -ing adjectives describe the cause of a feeling, while -ed adjectives describe the feeling experienced by a person or thing. For example, 'welcoming cup of coffee' uses the -ing form to describe the coffee's effect, whereas 'delighted with the gift' uses the -ed form to describe the person's feeling. The section provides sentences illustrating this distinction and includes exercises where students fill in blanks with appropriate past participles from given verbs (infect, take, quote, use, watch, frighten, propose). Another exercise asks students to rewrite a passage in the past tense, reinforcing verb tense usage.

📊 Diagram: No diagrams.

🧪 Activity: Fill in blanks with past participles; rewrite passage in past tense.

🔗 Connection: Prepares students for editing and writing exercises that follow.
