The document discusses the difference between sources of emotions and experiencers of emotions. It provides examples of verb-adjective pairs where the -ing form describes the source, like an "amazing" performer, and the -ed form describes the experiencer, like children who are "amazed." Several examples are given of matching sentences using verbs like frighten, amuse, fascinate, frustrate, excite, and bore to distinguish sources from experiencers.
