Считают ли ученики ваши занятия exciting или excited? Чувствуют ли они себя на них interested или interesting? И если для вас ответ вполне очевиден, то для многих изучающих английский все не так просто. Хотя правило, которому подчиняются окончания -ing и -ed в прилагательных и причастиях, логичное, несложное и не несет в себе никаких подводных камней, студенты все равно любят допускать ошибки в таких прилагательных и время от времени путать окончания. И, как и со всем остальным, здесь поможет только практика. Поэтому сегодня мы предлагаем вам несколько эффективных упражнений на отработку -ing and -ed adjectives.
