The words “interesting” and “interested” are related but with different meanings. They are related since both share participles of the verb “interest”. “Interested” is the past participle, while “interesting” is the present participle of the word “interest”. These words are often used as adjectives but with contrasting meaning. “Interested” shows one’s concern in something, whereas “interesting” describes what elicits interest. Overall, one is “interested” in something and things are “interesting”.
