Complete the comedian's joke about a terrible evening out. Select ALL the options that grammatically and logically complete the story.
"My blind date talked about his collection of plain white socks for two solid hours! Needless to say, ________"
The correct answers are he was incredibly boring to listen to. and I was completely bored by his stories.
The date is the source of the boredom, so we use the -ing adjective: he was boring.
The speaker is the one experiencing the emotion, so we use the -ed adjective: I was bored.
Notice the grammar patterns: "boring + to + verb" (boring to listen to) and "bored + by + noun" (bored by his stories).
