English grammar: How to choose the correct participle to fill in the blanks when using participle as predicative? For example, I am sleeping. I'm tired.

There is a relatively certain judgment method.

But what you said: I was sleeping. Don't fall into this category. This sentence is a common present continuous form.

The past participle ending in -ed expresses the psychology and mentality of people or animals with emotional changes, so it is used to modify sb.

1, sb has a mentality/feeling /sb feels ...;

I feel/afraid/excited/interested/bored/tired and so on.

2. You can make an attribute before expressions, facial expressions and sb: express sb's mentality and psychological activities;

The frightened expression on his face = He felt scared.

A frightened girl.

And the word segmentation function ends with -ing:

1, be+ do something, which constitutes the (present/past) progressive aspect; (Example omitted)

2. Representing things and events: making people feel …

This story is frightening.

This is a terrible story. That's a terrible story.

Take bored/boring as an example:

I'm bored with my job.

My job is boring.

This kind of word segmentation is basically in pairs, which is easy to remember and identify:

Bored/bored; Tired/tiring; Interested/interesting; Excitement/excitement; Fear/fear, etc.
