tense vs. intense

[Tiffanyenglish]

Hi educators,

I am having a difficulty in understanding how to use these two words (tense and intense) in my writing. I know the meaning of each word.

For Examples: I am tensed up when I know that I have to speak in public.

Hi Educators,

I am having a difficulty in understanding how to use these two words (tense and intense) in my writing. I am quit confused with its meaning and usage.
The following examples are my interpretation of both words.

For Examples: I am tensed up when I know that I have to speak in public.
The content of the conversation is very intense.
Does it make any sense to anyone? Are they even correctly structured?
Please give me some examples for each word in its usage. Thank you.

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for your explanation and examples. It makes more sense to me now when you put it in a sentence.
