Adjectives which describe feelings and things Hi, I have a little problem with adjectives, We use -ed to adjectives (like amused) to describe how people feel and -ing to describe things and situations, but what with adjectives like "delightful" or "incredible"? Can we use them in both situations?

Not really, those adejectives do notstem from nouns and apply to feelings a person can experience, but not to the person him/herself. You can be "interested", "elated", "depressed" but not delightful. Those adjectives need to modify a noun such as in an "incredible"summer, or a "delightful" meal. A "breath taking" movie could be another example. Good luck
