(4) I am so excited about the music festival that I can’t wait to go there. (5) Why are you worried? (6) The story about a young shoplifter they showed on TV was worried.

Перевод задания: Выберите одно предложение, в котором причастие на -ed или -ing употреблено неправильно.

The incorrect sentence is: “The story about a young shoplifter they showed on TV was worried.” A story causes a feeling, so the correct form is worrying: “The story about a young shoplifter they showed on TV was worrying.” The form worried describes a person who feels concern.

Перевод: Неправильное предложение: «История о молодом похитителе из магазина, которую показали по телевизору, была обеспокоенной». История вызывает чувство, поэтому правильная форма — worrying («тревожная»): «История о молодом похитителе из магазина, которую показали по телевизору, была тревожной». Форма worried описывает человека, который испытывает беспокойство.

Ответ: предложение 6; правильно: “The story about a young shoplifter they showed on TV was worrying.”
