Please, can somebody clarify the difference, if any, between:
I am bored. (bored here is adjective)
It is cleaned everyday.
I am concerned about.......
He is shaved everyday by the nurse.
Are the 'ed' endings all adjectives, if not what are they?

Hi Anon, (1) I am bored . As you mentioned, here, "bored" is an adjective; an adjective that describes the state or emotion of a person or thing. For example, (a) I am tired (b) I am restless (c) I am frustrated --here, the adjectives ‘tired’,’ restless', and 'frustrated' describe the state of 'I'.

As our friends mentioned earlier, they are adjectives. I want to just add a more specific term in case you find it in your textbooks that makes you confused. When a verb form with "-ed" acts as an adjective, it is called past participle (as in your examples), and when the verb form is with an "-ing", it is present participle: The running dog chased the fluttering moth.
