Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "injurious" with "injured." "Injurious" describes something that causes harm (for example, "an injurious substance"), while "injured" describes the person or thing that has already been hurt (for example, "an injured worker"). Learners may also use "injurious" in casual speech, where "harmful" or "bad for you" would sound more natural.
