Erro comum:
Learners often confuse "humiliating" and "humiliated". Use "humiliating" for the thing or situation (e.g., "a humiliating comment"), and "humiliated" for how a person feels (e.g., "I felt humiliated"). Another mistake is using it when they only mean "a little embarrassing"; "humiliating" is usually quite strong.
