Incorrect spelling

intrested

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the spelling is a mistake since the past-participle adjective must accord with its root, which is the verb interest. When we derive a word, we have to pay attention to the original form and add -ed to the base. Therefore, intrested is an incorrect spelling and the correct one is interested.
