Поширена помилка:
Learners often say *"I am stressful"* when they mean *"I am stressed"*. Use **stressful** to describe things that cause stress (a stressful day, a stressful job) and **stressed** to describe how a person feels (I feel stressed, I am very stressed today). Also avoid using **stressful** before a person unless you mean they cause stress for others (e.g., *a stressful boss* means a boss who makes you feel stressed).
