The Adjectives

Today, I found a fatal mistake that may mislead English learner, and since the website in question is a web tailored for English learning, it is doubly so.
If you say confused words it means that the "word" has a feeling that make him/her/it confused. However, if you say confusing words it means that the "word" looks "confusing", viewed from people outside/external parties.


Hari ini, saya menemukan sebuah kesalahan fatal yang bisa saja menyesatkan pembelajar bahasa  Inggris dalam mengerti maksud dari "confusing words". Terlebih lagi, situs web yang bersangkutan adalah situs yang memang dibuat untuk belajar bahasa Inggris. > wordsmile.

In addition, the "commonly" adverb looks out of place, it should be: "common confusing words"

 ------------


The problem is the elusive "-ed, and -ing" adjectives, which sometimes make learner confused. I think.. let the picture says everything ;).
Masalahnya adalah kata sifat (adjective) berakhiran "-ed dan -ing", yang terkadang membuat pembelajar bingung. Biarkan gambar berbicara saya pikir ;):

Again, don't swallow/stomach/gulp/ everything that you study without possibly think that, is this correct? hmm..Always cultivate critical thinking in your learning and Happy studying! ;).
