LOIEnglish Very good Fernando! Perfect score! sly 1interesting 2bored 3irritating 4 embarassed 5 improved 6 excited 7 entertaining 8 relaxing 9 encouraging 10 confusing LOIEnglish You had a problem with number 3 and number 5. Number 3 the subject I isnt causing or producing the emotion irritate it is feeling. It is an emotional state. You can substitute FEEL with the verb TO BE In this sentence: I FELT very irritated. Remember the ING means that the subject is producing the emotion. The traffic in LA is irritatING.Number 5 is a trick question because this is not an adjective ending it is Present Continuous or Present Progressive. In this verbal tense you always use TO BE with the ING verb ending.I hope this helps! Marina Danilova 1. interesting 2. bored 3. irritated 4. embarrassed 5. improving 6. excited 7.entertaning 8, relaxing 9. encouraging 10. confusing LOIEnglish Excellent work. I think you have the idea! LOIEnglish Good Ryo. You only had problems with Question #3, irritating. Take a look at the sentence:I was (irritated/irritating) that I had to wait 2 weeks to see the movie. The subject is I, so we are talking about the speakers feelings. The speaker feels irritatED because they had to wait to see the movie. Generally, when the subject is I we are going to use an adjective ED ending because we are talking about how someone feels. I am confusED. I am borED. It isnt common for someone to say, I am boring. That means that they are creating boredom for other people. I hope this helps! I am looking forward to our next class!

LOIEnglish Question #5 is a bit tricky. The correct answer is improving In this sentence we are looking at the verb rather than the adjective. In this sentence we see the present continuous or progressive form to be + verbING, we use it to say something is happening at the moment.
