Bored = describes when someone feels that they are not interested, unhappy or tired with something or someone or because they have nothing to do.

Examples with bored:

2. I get so

3. Eric always gets

5. I get

6. Trevor got really

7. It was raining all day on Saturday and I was stuck inside with nothing to do. I was very
bored.
8. David got really

Boring = something or someone is not interesting

Examples with boring:
