Confusing Derivative words

Today I will present some words that confuse us many times.So you must spend your time and effort to have a careful look at these words

1.                Impudent versus Imprudent

You know what type of people are impudent people. These people are excessively forward but not in good way. They talk rudely with elders and the senior one who deserves respect. For example, they make fun of teacher in front of teacher.

However imprudent is exactly opposite of prudent. Prudent are the one who makes a wise plan, decision and act accordingly. Opposite to this, imprudent are the foolish people.

 For example, anyone who appears in job interview with half paint and sneaker is an imprudent man. It is not wise to go to the job interview in such fashion.

Now what you can do is, make a list of imprudent activity, you have seen, done by the imprudent people around you

Synonym of imprudent is fatuous

2.                 Fatuous versus infatuated

You may confuse with fatuous versus infatuated. To make you understand the meaning of infatuated, I will tell a story of my friend infatuated with Mac book .  He own a macbook and was infatuated with it. He took care and used to love macbook very much that it seems unusual to us. He used to clean it three times a day.  He had bought a expensive bag to put it. Sometime he used to quarrel with friend, if they are typing fast on his macbook. This type of irrational behavior confirmed that he was infatuated with macbook.

Not only with the object, some people are also fond of or in  love with the girl so much and do irrational behavior. We have seen many suicides in the name of love of girl. In my opinion, these people are infatuated with the girl

3.                 Exhaustive versus Exhausted

Exhaustive means complete. However, exhausted means in the state of physically and mentally tired

For example:

a)      After exhaustive study of the problems we became able to figure out the solution

b)      Although the players were exhausted physically after playing two consecutive matches, they were happy of the victory.

4.                Sanguine versus Sanguinary

Sanguine is an adjective that describes a cheerful and optimistic people. However sanguinary is an adjective that describes bloodshed.

For example:
