This structure is so common in our daily life. We are confused about ‘boring and bored’. Well, both are adjectives that describe the qualities of two different objects. A movie can be boring but I am bored to watch this movie. I can also say that ‘I get bored’. Here are some more examples. 

Boring vs Bored

Interesting vs Interested

  1. ‘Interesting’ and ‘interested’ both are adjectives. You can be interested in something, or something can be interesting for you. For example, this job is very interesting. Or, I am interested in this job. [not I’m interesting* in this job – wrong]. Read the following examples.
