Very good. But how do you explain the difference between
I am bored and I am boring?
I'm a teacher myself and I always have difficulties explaining it.
Thanks

@gregstera -- Hi Greg. Good question. You can't always say that the past participle describes a person and the present participle describes a thing, because I'm pretty sure I have been perceived as "boring" by some of my students at some point or another. The present participle describes the source of the feeling: exciting, surprising, boring, confusing, etc. A person can, of course, be these things also. It would be great to hear from other teachers on this.
