Rules to remember
Interest
I’m interested in + noun / verb-ing. It sounds + adjective. I’d like to know more about + noun.
Indifference
I don’t mind + noun / verb-ing: I don’t mind waiting. I don’t care about + noun: I don’t care about fashion.
-ed / -ing
interested = what I feel; interesting = what the thing is: I’m interested in this film. It’s an interesting film.
How to do it
- Do you want to know more? Show interest.
- Is it not important to you? Show indifference politely with I don’t mind.
- After sound, use an adjective; after mind, use verb-ing.
Example
That sounds interesting! I’d like to know more about your new album. — Rice or pasta? I don’t mind.
