Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "annoying" with "angry". "Annoying" describes the person or thing that causes the bad feeling (for example: "The noise is annoying"), while "angry" describes how a person feels (for example: "I am angry about the noise"). Learners also sometimes say "I am annoying" when they mean "I am annoyed"; "I am annoying" means other people feel irritated by you, while "I am annoyed" means you feel irritated.
