- Some grammar rules base on the agreement of the community using the language .We can't explain all of them , I think .In Vietnamese for example :

We say "cứu hoả " no body says "dập hoả" and We say "chữa bệnh" no one says "diệt bệnh".....Can we explain the reason why ....?

- I am bored with the boring news .I am a bored person .

"boring news" => active meaning .

"bored person =>passive meaning .

Please wait for answers from other teachers .

Good luck !
