Boring and Bored

Boring and bored are adjectives derived from the verb bore. Indonesian learners learning English often misuse these two adjectives. They often make the wrong sentence I am boring instead of I am bored. In Indonesian language boring means membosankan, and bored is bosan.

Looka ta the examples below:

1. The students are bored with the situation.
2. The situation is boring


3. My sister is bored with her job.
4. Her job is boring.
