Are you “interested” or “interesting”?

by Jenny Hartland

We find that many of our EAL students at Hartland Educational Consultancy Services have difficulty with pairs of English words like these. It’s a good example of the kind of detail we can focus on in our one-to-one EAL lessons.

It is very important to understand the difference. Otherwise it can lead to some embarrassing (not “embarrassed”) situations. You would not want to call yourself “boring” when you are actually bored!

Of course, it is sometimes possible to describe yourself using both words in these pairs - we discover that all of our students who are “interested” in EAL lessons are also very “interesting”!
