[align=left]Past Participles and Present Participles used as adjectives
would u like to know the difference between the adjectives ending in -ed and -ing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ed and -ing are also stuck onto verbs, and they connote when or how the action takes place. Adding '-ed' makes a lot of verbs past tense, and it also creates the participle for perfect tenses: walk, walked, have walked. What you end up with is a sense of completed action. So, an adjective ending in '-ed' is really a participle used as an adjective, and it, too, implies completed action.
Ex. A washed car is clean. -->The act of washing happened in the past and has been completed. The car is clean as a result. The adjective 'washed' is the participal of the verb 'wash'.
Adding '-ing' makes a verb progressive, meaning that the action is ongoing and incomplete: am walking, was walking, have been walking, etc. When a verb with an '-ing' ending is used as an adjective, it also implies ongoing and incomplete action.
In addition to what said, with most verbs, -ing and -ed
adjectives show whether the noun is the agent or receiver of the action expressed by the participle, which means they show two completely different situations.
"A frightening animal" is very different from "a frightened animal". Yet, neither is more 'complete' than the other. They are just different.
"A frightening animal" is an animal that will frighten you. The animal is the 'agent' or 'doer' (so to speak) of the action.
"A frightened animal" is one that has been frightened by someone/something else. In this case, the animal is the 'receiver' of the action expressed by the participle (or 'participial', as these adjectives are also called).
Other examples:
"an interesting film" - "an interested look on her face"
"an amusing joke" - "an amused audience"
"surprising news" - "a surprised smile" [/center]
with love

عجبت لشخص صدره ضايق ومهموم ولايقراء( سوره الشرح)
((بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم))
( ألم نشرح لك صدرك* ووضعنا عنك وزرك* الذي أنقض ظهرك* ورفعنا لك ذكرك*
فإن مع العسر يسراً* إن مع العسر يسراً* فإذا فرغت فانصب*
وإلى ربك فارغب*)

^أقرها مره ومرتين وثلاث وفي الثالثه بأذن الله تشعر باانشراح وسعه صدر
(اللهم اغفر لوالدي وارحمه رب اكرم نزله و وسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد وافسح له في قبرة مد بصرة واجعله روضه من رياض الجنه) آمين آمين
