Common mistakes
I was disquieting about the exam.I was disquieted about the exam.
现在分词与过去分词误用：disquieting 表示“令人不安的”，用于修饰使人不安的事物；disquieted 表示“感到不安的”，用于描述人的感受。主语是人、表示“感到不安”时，要用 disquieted。
The news disquieting me yesterday.The news disquieted me yesterday.
词性与谓语动词错误：disquieting 是现在分词/形容词，不能单独作句子的谓语。表示“使我不安”这个动作，要用动词 disquiet 的过去式 disquieted，并由 yesterday 明确过去时间。
