Boring vs Bored

I often see students mix up “boring” and “bored.”

Remember that a thing is boring. Like a movie, a speech or some homework. This means we say:

“This movie is really boring. I hate it!”

Or:

“The president’s speech was boring. I almost fell asleep.”

–

People feel bored. So we say:

“I feel really bored today.”

“The movie made me feel really bored.”

“Baby, I’m bored. Let’s watch a different movie.”

–

This is the most common error I see, but there are a few similar pairs. For instance:

We feel interested. Things are interesting.
We feel excited. Things are exciting.
We feel confused. Things are confusing.
