I think that I understand what you mean. Really, there are adjectives with "ed" and "ing, not only verbs. Examples: "The dancing girl looks so beautiful!" This Present Participle "dancing" functions as an adjective, we use it with the noun "girl". The girl is doing it herself. One should add "ing". Another example. "The replaced window differs from others". "Replaced" is Past Participle, we use it as an adjective when an action is performed by another subject. The window was replaced by someone, not by itself. The usage of "ed" or "ing" depends on Passive or Active Voise. You should repeat Voises and Participles. All three answerers did not understand your question.

usually ed and ing are used for verbs not adjectives.
ed is used for past tense verbs. Exampled "Sarah JUMPED yesterday"
ing is used for present tense verbs. Example "Sarah is JUMPING right now"

Dude.
-ed is past tense.
and they're suffixes for verbs. It changes tense not meaning, they're still verbs...
Did I misunderstand the question.
