Romeo and Juliet. It was the most exciting play I've ever seen.

I've always found the ending very depressing.

I'm surprised. I mean, everyone knows the end.

Exciting + excited Amusing + amused Tiring + tired Amazing + amazed Shocking + shocked Embarrassing + embarrassed Confusing + confused Disappointing + disappointed Terrifying + terrified Frightening + frightened Depressing + depressed Worrying + worried Annoying + annoyed Interesting + interested Satisfying + satisfied

Many adjectives in English have two meanings, depending on whether they end in -ed or -ing. There is a big difference in meaning between the two: The lesson was boring. Here the subject of the sentence is the lesson. The lesson produces the boredom. I was bored by the lesson. Here the subject of the sentence is the person. The person receives the boredom.
