Hello, Stone.
The -ing form expresses the quality of the experience itself: a circus is amazing, a long journey is tiring, an adventure movie is exciting.
The -ed form is the condition of the experiencer: I am amazed by the circus, I am tired from the journey, I am excited after seeing the movie.
An easy way to remember:
The thing is -ing, and -ed is me.

| What does the phrase "Saul is also among the prophets" mean? | Why it is not "going" instead of "to go" |
