Oh I am sorry . Could you distinguish the meaning of "tiresome" from one of "tiring"!!!

Even though you could say, "This is job is tiring", it's actually never used in English.
Just stick to "tiresome" when you want to describe something and everything will be fine. |

Hi, GeoTop
To tell the difference between "tiresome" and "tiring", lets look them up in a dictionary.

I don't think you're right. I think the sentence "This job is tiring" is OK and used in the English language.
Anyway, let's wait for teachers to elaborate on the question. |
