Would you please tell me which one is correct? And why?
Could you possibly elaborate your explanations freely or readily?
I get bored if I’m at home on my own all day.
I bore if I’m at home on my own all day.
Answer
Here, "bored"
is used as an adjective, and not as a verb. In the participle "get bored"
, get is the verb and bored is an adjective. If the sentence were "Sitting alone at home all day _bores_ me"
, bores is a verb. This is why "I bore"
is grammatically on the grey side. The verb form of bore would mean the act of drilling holes.
