-ed, -ing ADJECTIVES

Remember when we describe actions, situations and also people causing a particular feeling we use  an    -ing adjective. However if we talk about the person having that feeling we use -ed adjectives:

The film was really boring, I nearly fell asleep.
My friend Pete is a bit boring, he is always talking about work.

Sue is interested in Economy.
That book is quite interesting.

And now, some  practice:

RELATIVE CLAUSES

Here are some exercises on relative clauses, before doing them remember the following:

Defining relative clauses are often used in definitions

A seaman is someone who works on a ship

A saw is a tool which cuts wood

In Defining relative clauses the relative pronoun can be omitted if it is the object of the clause.

Subject pronoun or object pronoun?

 Who, which, that are used for subject and object pronouns. You can distinguish them as follows:

If the relative pronoun is followed by a verb, the relative pronoun is a subject pronoun. Subject pronouns must always be used.

The big house which is near the park

If the relative pronoun is not followed by a verb (but by a noun or pronoun), the relative pronoun is an object pronoun. Object pronouns can be dropped in defining relative clauses, which are then called Contact Clauses.

The big house ( which) Peter bought ...

In Non-defining relative clauses the relative pronoun can never be omitted.

     Mary, who is a nurse, is my best friend

     The book, which cost me $40, is on that shelf

HAVE TO/DON'T HAVE TO/MUSTN'T
http://www.eclecticenglish.com/grammar/HaveTo1A.html

http://www.englishgrammarsecrets.com/musthaveto/exercise7.html

Note: sentence 6. The answers provided by the site's self-correction do not make much sense, and all in all the sentence is not a very good example of natural language usage. My advice is  ignore that sentence and continue with the rest.

SHOULD/SHOULDN'T
http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=2865#a

MUST/MUSTN'T/SHOULD/ HAVE TO/DON'T HAVE TO/CAN/CAN'T
http://www.englishexercises.org/makeagame/viewgame.asp?id=3401

Note:
there is a mistake in the first sentence . According to the web site's self-correction, the answer is "shouldn't," but the correct answer is "should."
