Yeah, it is complicated. But it is not possible to give a short answer.
-ed can indicate an ADJECTIVE or part of a verb (a PAST PARTICIPLE)
examples:
A burned piece of toast (ADJECTIVE).
The toast was burned by me (PAST PARTICIPLE)
-ing can indicate an ADJECTIVE, a part of a verb (PRESENT PARTICIPLE) or a GERUND
A burning car. (ADJECTIVE)
The car was buring after the crash (PRESENT PARTICIPLE)
Buring trash is not allowed (GERUND)
I suggest that you give us examples of what is confusing you!
