why "I have been bored" ?

should it not be "I have been boring" ?

[learnamericanenglish]

@Jetfly444 -- If you say, "I have been boring," You are the person who is "boring" other people. You can say it, but is that what you mean?

If I would express my mood in the moment " I'm boring" it would be wrong???? I've always thought I could say in both ways " I'm boring and I'm bored"

Please correct me.

@bucks974 -- It wouldn't be wrong to say, "I'm boring," but is that what you want to say? It would be similar to saying, "I'm a boring person." Most people don't say that of themselves, but it's within the realm of possibility.

If you say, "I'm bored," you're describing the impact that your environment has on you, and it's quite possible that you are not to blame for feeling bored -- but it all depends on the individual, doesn't it?

i think it is the best video that i have seen

@bucks974 First of all it's incorrect to say "If I would...".The correct way is:"If I expressed my...".That's the second conditional.And about your question,boring means that you make people bore,and bored means that other people or something makes you bore.

Dear teacher, if we put the both videos about "ing" together, that makes enough to we get plenty of understanding, because the adjective doesn't change like the verb. Well understood, thank you!
