Is it very difficult to speak better English?



  • The answer is "no".<br /><br />Bored and boring( both are adjectives)<br /><br />You can say "I am bored" but you cannot say "I am boring", why?<br /><br /><span class="sense_b "><span class="SEP "></span><span class="def parentof__def__is__sense_b">Because according to Cambridge dictionary, bored is "feeling tired and unhappy because something is not interesting or because you have nothing to do", while boring is "<span class="sense_b "><span class="SEP "></span><span class="def parentof__def__is__sense_b">not interesting or exciting".<br /><br />So you can say "I am bored because the movie is very boring".<br /><br />Got it?<br /><br /><br /></span></span></span></span>



  • The verb "seek" can be used as transitive or intransitive verb as in these cases:
    <br>
    <br>I am seeking new friends.(transitive verb), or
    <br>
    <br>The detective is seeking for evidence. (intransitive verb)
    <br>
    <br>It is therefore wrong to say "I am seeking for new friends".
