Yesterday I made a joke that you were not boring. What I meant was you should have said, "I'm bored". Not I'm boring. Those are two different types of boredom.

When you say "I'm boring" you are telling us you are boring, dull, or not interesting. "I'm bored" means you have nothing to do and feel like doing something. :D

Yes that is correct but in this case, the word - bored applies to both present and past because the meaning is different.

Perhaps someone can come along and explain it better than I can.

oh no no. it's different. English is a complicated language.

"I'm boring" means you are a boring person.
"I'm bored" means you are feeling bored right now.

If you want to use the past tense - you say "I was bored"
If you want to use the present tense - you say "I am bored" (or same as "I'm bored")

confusing, right?

English is such a confusing language. All the crazy rules that exists, it's insane.
 
I'm just hanging out and surfing the net right now. Should be reading my mathbook, have homework that is due by Tuesday night. ick.
 
If it clears anything up. It's only verbs that the endings ed and ing make past and present tense, not adjectives. Like hop, hopping hopped, write, writing, and to really f' you up wrote. Those are verbs, actions.

With adjectives ing and Ed have different purposes.

ed is used to describe feelings. I am bored. She is excited. You are confused.

ing is used to describe the character of a person or thing. Golf is boring. Sex is exciting. Taxes are confusing.

I have no idea if that helped

So the word "bored" if the ed indicated past tense then it word be for the verb bore. In this case bore as in boredom, ennui (that's French though) not bore as in drill a hole into something. Bore can be a verb. Like.....my date last night bored me. Math bores me. Is he boring you?

Maybe I shouldn't have edited that in? I may have confused you more.

You're welcome. I grew up hearing. I'm deaf and 39 now, but I didn't start losing my hearing until I was in my 20s

That is cool! No wonder you were hearing and you're deaf. Your English is very excellent. I was born with profound deaf. I have been practice writing English skill. I have a long story about my past and bad experienced with Deaf teachers taught at Deaf school. It was not my faulted and other Deaf kids faulted. My husband is hearing and want to protect me from bad English grammar. He didn't like anyone to make fun of me. He know I'm very brilliant and not dumb. I'm working so hard to reading and writing improving than before. I'm so graceful to hearing people for helped me.
