"Stressed" and "Stressful"
are these two words both adjectives?
And what is the difference between the two?
In the dictionary it says:
stressed - feeling very worried or anxious.
stressful - full of or causing stress.
If you are worried or anxious, then aren't you full of stress?
So do these two sentences mean the same thing?
You are correct that both are adjectives, but both carry different meanings.
stressed - feeling very worried or anxious.
stressful - full of or causing stress.
Events or circumstances can be stressful, in that they cause somebody to feel stressed. In short, one is cause, and one is effect.
For example:
I had a stressful day at work today. (the day was stressful)
I was feeling pretty stressed because of the deadline at work today. (I felt stress because of work)
