CÁCH DÙNG:

Phần này ta chỉ cần xét vị trí của nó mà quyết định dùng mặt nào, không cần xét nghĩa.
Khi nào dùng mặt “ING” khi nào dùng mặt”ED”?
– Nếu phía sau có danh từ thì dùng mặt “ING”
Ví dụ: This is a boring film. (Phía sau có danh từ: film)
– Nếu phía sau không có danh từ thì nhìn phía trước: Nếu gặp người thì dùng “ED” nếu gặp vật thì dùng “ING”
Ví dụ: He is very interested in games. (Phía trước có he)- Người)
The book is very interesting. (Phía trước có book – Vật)
I found the book very interesting. (Chọn chữ book không chọn chữ I vì chữ book ở gần hơn)
