How do you Feel? -ed,-ing? / what's the matter? Are you ill?

Week 19^th – 21^st  May

Hello! How’s everybody today?

Some of you will feel excited because winning the 10^th Champions’ League was exciting! Others will feel disappointed because losing is always disappointing.  And some others will feel amused because feeling worried about football when there are such a lot of more important things to worry about, is amusing or, should I say, a bit depressing!

Anyway, next season things can change! I’m talking about football, of course!

We learnt the difference between “-ed” and “-ing” adjectives.
