ACTIVE ADJECTIVES use the present participle form (they end with 'ing') and express that the connected noun causes the related action. Remember that progressive/continuous tenses also are active and also have verbs that end with 'ing'.
PASSIVE ADJECTIVES use the past participle form (they usually end with 'ed') and express that the connected noun is affected by the related action. Remember that perfect tenses can also focus on results and also have verbs that end with 'ed' (except for irregular verbs).
