that's true
You might get confused by these words
but reading the whole text will give you a vivid
idea about the meaning.
anyway, thank you so much for this topic
hope you the best
Confused is right if you are describing someone
There are adjectives that end in -ing and -ed
such as boring and bored
fascinating and fascinated
annoying and annoyed
depressing and depressed
disappointing and disappointed
and many many many more
but there is a difference in using them
Someone is -ed but something is -ing
words can't be confused
you can be confused
words are confusing
just like
you are shocked
but the words are shocking
I just hope that I made the difference clear

((They all have the same pronounciation))
First: it is Pronunciation
Second: They don't have the same pronunciation they differ. You can say they have great similarity .Same means exact. You state at the beginning that those words have the same pronunciation and at the end you say watch out they differ. This is confusing enough for me .
Third :Talk and took ,they differ in the vowels .
Fourth: I agree to the explanation stated by the member Dead
Fifth: As long as you agree to the mistakes you have committed you should correct the mistakes .
Bonus: " Remark:- wach out" incorrect it is "watch out"
Just wondering ,how did you know the gender of the member Dead?
note:Dead is a female therefore,she can't be a brother unless.

LINGO:smile (73):
The name sounds strange to me but the style is familiar
Anyway, thank you for clarifying my gender
can't stop myself from asking
do you feel homeless?

I can't stop my self why would you bother if lingo feels lonely or if he ever had a home ?
Strange comment
Strange comment
Yes, I agree. It is a strange question
ment for Lingo.
But as long as he did not answer
I think I should clarify it.
I used to write in a forum that is now temporarily closed
I feel homeless
I thought Lingo is one of the members there
because he has the same style as the other member in the other forum but with a different name
I hope that I made myself clear to you.
By the way , he was the one who used to tell new members that I was a female.
