ADJECTIVES WITH -ING/-ED

Dear Students!!

Three days to give you the answer of the previous exercise. I may imagine that it has been difficult to understand as it isn´t British english. anyway, I feel myself somehow obliged to ask you for one more try.
I´m sure you´ll get to answer at least one!

Apart from that, I would like to post a grammar exercise about ed- versus -ing adjectives. It´s not difficult to do.
A good opportunity to practice if you came to class; and a good one not to miss the lesson if you didn´t.

PERSONALITY TEST

Dear students;
After having such funny class and after having worked hard on wordbuilding. I think it´s time to have a break and start dealing with adjectives by submitting yourself to this test.
Make an approach to "describing personality adjectives" for the next class and take your time to do it. Time to "snoop" inside yourself!!!

Can you give a translation for "stick to..."?
TEST: Are you good at sticking to your resolutions? « Psychologies
