Συχνό λάθος:
Learners sometimes say "He is frightening" when they mean "He is frightened". "He is frightening" (verb or adjective) means he causes fear in others; "He is frightened" means he feels afraid. Also, learners may use "frightening" instead of the base verb "frighten" in dictionaries; remember that "frightening" here is the -ing form used in continuous tenses ("is frightening"), not the infinitive.
